You have a few choices, described at http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ (the content of which is also in the debian-kernel-handbook package). My favorite way is the following: 1. Get the upstream kernel source, either by downloading a tarball from kernel.org or with git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git 2. Apply your change. 3. Configure it: cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./.config # optional: simplify by only building modules you use make localmodconfig; yes "" | make silentoldconfig 4. Build it: make deb-pkg; # with -j<n> for parallel builds There are more details on at http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-kernel-org-package Hope that helps, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
