debs, using the "debian way" of kernel compliation ("make menuconfig; make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image), i am only able to complie a pristine kernel on my soney picturebook (running kernel 2.4.4, currently).
on my other boxes, i cannot complie any kernels (2.2.17, 2.2.18, 2.4.0, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, 2.4.4), as i get the message, "...ran out of input data." (none of these "other boxes" is a sony.) all boxes run potato (2.2) does anyone know what "...ran out of input data" means in terms of kernel compliation? should i be doing anything differently compiling the kernel? other boxes: dell dimension xps t600r (p600; 10gb hd); emachine (laptop) (p400; 4gb hd). ia, t. bentley taylor. //
