I just tried to compile the ALSA modules using make-kpkg modules_image
at the root of my kernel tree (and with the ALSA src unpacked at the usual place) and got the following: Generating debian/modules.d/control.module...done install debian/modules.d/control-0.5.source debian/control cat debian/modules.d/control-0.5.normal >> debian/control cat debian/modules.d/control-0.5.source > debian/control cat debian/modules.d/control-0.5.module-image >> debian/control sh debian/modules-tools.d/check-debian-rules-pkg WARNING: If you want to create the ALSA module package by make-kpkg or debian/rules, you need to install 'debhelper' package!! make[2]: *** [config] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.5-0.5.12a-2' make[1]: *** [kdist_image] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.5-0.5.12a-2' Module /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver-0.5-0.5.12a-2 failed. I do have debhelper installed, and I don't quite see what I am missing (am running woody), F.
