Niltze, all- Building kernel the 'Debian way':
Replaced abi string at debian/config/defines (from default value of 2) to a more descriptive string: [abi] abiname: reiser4 (guided by hint that debian devs sometimes set abiname string "trunk") Everything builds beautifully, especially UDEBs for modules/kernel like couple shown below: [...] 3.7M kernel-image-4.0.0-reiser4-amd64-di_4.0.8-2_amd64.udeb 34M linux-image-4.0.0-reiser4-amd64_4.0.8-2_amd64.deb Once kernel build is finished, I place the approxiamately 54 generated UDEBs at the installer/build/localudebs directory and modify installer/build/config/amd64.cfg # The version of the kernel to use. ## KERNELVERSION = $(LINUX_KERNEL_ABI)-amd64 KERNELVERSION = 4.0.0-reiser4-amd64 ## KERNELMAJOR = 2.6 KERNELMAJOR = 4.0 KERNELNAME = vmlinuz save modifications and execute command: make build_netboot-gtk The resulting netboot d-i iso image uses the custom kernel to start the Debian installation -- as can be verified by executing in an alternate shell: uname -a: Linux [host] 4.0.0-reiser4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.0.8-2 (2015-07-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux; nevertheless stops at 'no kernel modules were found' and thus d-i can not proceed further to install custom built kernel with reiser4 built-into-the-kernel support -- much less to detect/format a disk/partition win Reiser4. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CK-ZehmUwAAjx-V.png:large Any insight provided will be appreciated.
