I use stable, and there is some kind of support in it. According to the docs in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.modules is should do something like this:
make-kpkg --revision number kernel_image make-kpkg modules_image
But it keeps complaining about version numbers and dependencies not being correct when I try to install the .deb file make-kpkg is producing (only installing the lm-sensors-..-.deb).
I suspect that I have to chage something in the Makefile of the kernel-source to get this right. Should line 4 look like EXTRAVERSION = -1-686 ???

Yes, that helped me. In the end I did this, and I was able to installa the .deb file:
cd /tmp dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686_2.4.18-11_i386.deb dpkg -i kernel-source-2.4.18_2.4.18-13_all.deb dpkg -i kernel-headers-2.4.18-1-686_2.4.18-11.deb dpkg -i lm-sensors-source-2.6.3-5.deb
cd /usr/src tar xjf kernel-source-2.4.18.tar.bz2 tar xzf lm-sensors.tar.gz
ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux cd /usr/src/linux cp /boot/config-2.4.18-1-686 ./.config

KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-1-686 \
KVERS=2.4.18-1-686 KDREV=2.4.18-11cd /usr/src;ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 116612 Sep 3 21:10 lm-sensors-2.4.18-1-686_2.6.3-5+2.4.18-11_i386.deb
dpkg -i lm-sensors-2.4.18-1-686_2.6.3-5+2.4.18-11_i386.deb
Is this "standard procedure"? Do it again when kernel 2.4.18-14 is released? Or, will this be easier in the next release of Debian (as in unstable?).
Thanks, Menno.
