hi folks, i am using a separate machine to compile kernels and module packages. the arguments to make-kpkg are --revision with an increasing revision number, and --flavour, where i specify the machine name. the result is e.g. a kernel-image-2.4.17+fishbowl package.
now, i am also compiling pcmcia-cs and alsa-source. the compilation works and it's all happy... *except*: kernel-image-2.4.17+fishbowl writes its modules to /lib/modules/2.4.17, but e.g. the pcmcia-modules package that i generate puts its modules under /lib/modules/2.4.17+fishbowl. subsequently, depmod doesn't see these, and unless i cp -dR the ./pcmcia directory in the /lib/modules/2.4.17+fishbowl tree to /lib/modules/2.4.17, i ain't gonna get pcmcia working. i think that the bug is actually in the kernel-image package, because if i choose to use flavours, then it should employ them all the way. the kernel image in /boot is called vmlinuz-2.4.17+fishbowl, and so is the config file, it's really just /lib/modules that does it differently. your thoughts? i think that kernel-image ought to respect flavours the same way that module packages do! -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] don't hate yourself in the morning -- sleep till noon.
