[compiling a kernel]
Hi,
save yourself much trouble and do it the debian way.
Install the package kernel-package (it is in admin or misc) and read
/usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz
You may also have to install the fakeroot package if you don't have it
already.
The kernel-package will produce debian packages of your custom
kernel. It will take care about installing modules, the symbol file,
update lilo etc.
And it is easier to use than the manual way as well.
>From the README:
For the Brave and the impatient:
1% cd <kernel source tree>
2% make config # or make menuconfig or make xconfig and configure
3% make-kpkg clean
4% fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
5# dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
6# shutdown -r now # If and only if LILO worked or you have a means of
# booting the new kernel. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Be sure to read the rest of the file as well to get the details.
Ciao,
Martin
