That's about it. At least, what I did. Of course, if you change your kernel you also have to do the modules_image, too. Oh, the make-kpkg command works only, if you're in the kernel-source root-dir (/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.18pre21 at your box). Maybe make-kpkg will complain about the -revision parameter because you already have a kernel-revision, which is also valid for the modules, of course. Kernel and modules have to be the same revision. One suggestion: I link the actual kernel-directory to linus: `ln -s /usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.18pre21 /usr/src/linux` I'm not sure, if that's required. > I have built my kernel with make-kpkg, which is a wonderful tool, but > is this the right way to install lm-sensors?
