I'm running Debian unstable with the 2.4.12 kernel currently, and have been trying to make a custom kernel package of the 2.4.14 kernel to use to upgrade (and for installation elsewhere). I used the make-kpkg command provided by the Debian package kernel-package to make the kernel I'm using now, and all went well--but now (that was several weeks, and upgrades, ago) when I try to run make-kpkg clean or make-kpkg --revision=... kernel_image, I get a bunch of errors like this (and no kernel):
unknown Debian architecture linux, you must specify GNU system type, too at /usr/bin/dpkg-architecture line 193. (I wrapped it in the middle, for your viewing enjoyment). Any ideas? I consider myself a semi-newbie, so I may be missing something silly here. I took a look at dpkg-architecture, and tried running it with the -t and/or -a options with various combinations of i386, linux, i386-linux, etc.; but either that's not the right avenue, or I missed the right combo. Anyway, thanks in advance. --Daniel
