I have been fumbling my way though building custom kernels on debian using this guide http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm. Though, I have been using the .config from the stock 2.6.32 kernel and customising it to fit, as when I tried to make my own from scratch it didn’t boot. Regards, Angus ps, I have been having a weird bug with make-kpkg where, after building kernel headers and installing them as well as the image, the /lib/modules/<kernel version name>/build symlink has been pointing to the linux src dir that I used to build the kernel rather than the headers dir in /usr/src/linux-headers-<kernel version name>, just a heads up to watch out for that, I havent bug reported it yet as im not sure what the bug is with, as it worked fine to start with! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
