Sorry - i tried to run that command but it gave an error - something that rfakeroot is not a command..so i had to look at the man pages and came up with: make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=custom.1.1 kernel_image that is the exact command. and then did: sudo dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.29custom1.0_....deb But i still got the error about can finding vg_maingroup which i believe is my main filesystem. I should tell you that i have a mirrored boot drive and then i have a raid5 setup where the rest of the operating system is on. I did go into the /boot directory and deleted the previous files: config-2.6.29 initrd.img-2.6.29 System.map-2.6.29 vmlinuz-2.6.29 and then ran: make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd --revision=custom.1.1 kernel_image dpkg -i ../linux-image-2.6.29custom1.0_....deb as is. Is there a way to differeniate between the different kernels i am building - but using the same version?? thanks
