i am also running amd64 i got 2.6.27 running this morning but that's about it. booted into gnome and didn't really know what to do after that. i used: kernel source# make menuconfig (made sure iwl stuff was added etc. saved as .config) kernel source# fakeroot make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image kernel source# dpkg -i /home/user/src/linux-image-2.6.27_custom.1.0_amd64.deb kernel source# mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27 2.6.27 doublechecked menu.lst and rebooted. i assumed that the wireless modules were in by default but i couldn't see anything in the few minutes i've had a look around. (had to go to work) i also have no idea if my make-kpg is wrong but that's how it worked for me. > > -- > The decision doesn't have to be logical, it is unanimous. > Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.golden-gryphon.com/> > 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
