I've been using kernel-package to make kernel debs for a while and I'm delighted with it.
Now I'd like to build a 2.4.19 kernel with the XFS (journalling file system) patches installed. I have a 2.4.19 source tree with a symlink to /usr/src/linux. I have installed the kernel-patch-xfs deb, and it created the directory /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/xfs with three kernel-patch....gz files. I have edited /etc/kernel-pkg.conf and added the lines "patch_the_kernel=yes" and "config_target=menuconfig". I did "make-kpkg --added-patches xfs kernel_image modules_image". menuconfig started but I couldn't see any XFS options in the file systems section; when I installed the kernel image and tried to boot with the new kernel it panicked on the root file system. It appears to me the patches aren't being applied. I've looked in the kernel-package and kernel-patch-xfs docs for clues, but I haven't found any. Any ideas where I'm going astray?
