Hi Krum, Did you try running 'make-kpkg clean' first? I think this may well be your problem. I think GCC version may not be your problem. For your reference, this is the procedure most commonly used: 1.) while in kernel directory run 'make-kpkg clean' 2.) make-kpkg --revision=your_kernel_name.1.0 kernel_image 3.) once you've built your kernel, you can go one directory up and dpkg -i your_kernel_name.1.0 I hope this helps (and works for you).
