That doesn't do what you think it does at all. Specifically, 'make-kpkg modules' attempts to build signed uploadable versions of kernel module packages that have their source unpacked under /usr/src/modules (or $MODULES_LOC, if that's set). Most people will want to use 'make-kpkg modules-image', which doesn't sign the modules. And in any case, this won't rebuild the modules that are built from the kernel source tree; you need to re-run 'make-kpkg kernel-image' for that. (It wouldn't hurt to bump the kernel revision number if you do this, though that might require you to rebuild all of your external modules, too.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
