These should end up in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.21 and /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs 3) ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.21 /usr/src/kernel 3) cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 to /usr/src/kernel/.config 4) cd /usr/src/kernel 5) make menuconfig (I had to install libncurses-dev to get this to work) This takes the .config as a starting point. Amazingly you need to find General -> PCMCIA support and make sure PCMCIA support is NOT selected (not even as a module). Make any other changes required for your hardware (or none for now to see if it works!) 6) make-kpkg --revision=mykernel.0.1 kernel_image modules_image (This needs kernel-package installed) This takes 4 hours on my 166MHz machine and produces two .deb files in /usr/src, one for the kernel and the other for the modules. 7) Install these two packages using dpkg -i /usr/src/*.deb 8) Add an option to /etc/lilo.conf to load the /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21 image and run lilo 9) Reboot and select the new kernel
