I'll build one. Is the customer using the 32-bit (i386) or 64-bit (amd64) version of the OS? Here are instructions for building a patched kernel on the same kind of Debian system, from a directory containing the twelve patches from [1] and nothing else: 0. Prerequisites. As root: apt-get install build-essential fakeroot apt-get install devscripts 1. Get the source. apt-get source linux-2.6=2.6.32-45 cd linux-2.6-2.6.32 2. Patch and build. bash debian/bin/test-patches $(ls ../*.patch) This should produce a .deb file containing the patched kernel. As a sanity check: 3. Install and test. As root: dpkg -i ../<name of package> reboot These instructions were taken from [2]. Hope that helps, Jonathan [1] http://bugs.debian.org/666108#46 [2] http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official
