That's what I infer from my own experience. But the kbuild stuff in 2.6 is kinda hairy, and I did not attempt to trace the exact conditions after I found a way to do thing that seems to work consistently for me. This may even be documented somewhere, although it did not jump out and bite my nose when I tried to find out what went wrong. Given the tendency of people like me to just repeat the procedures that worked for 2.4, it might be a good idea for make-kpkg to check whether the necessary files are present in the kernel tree (and warn loudly if they are not) when one tries to build modules. On the other hand I have no idea what would be involved in checking this, so it might be probitively difficult. -- Henning Makholm "Luk munden og se begavet ud!" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
