If he used his patches to create the rescue disk, he had needed a
kernel-image package. His patches don't mention anything special so he
either used a kernel-image*.deb or he did it manually, which is bad
for automizing ;-)
I'm looking for the clean way of building the rescue floppy. And the
clean way to put the kernel on the rescue floppy is to use the
kernel-image*.deb for the specific slpha sub-architectures. These
packages have to exist anyway because they are the one and official
way of upgrading the kernel on existing Debian system.
Anyone wants to build kernel-image packages for the alpha
architectures? (I don't have Linux-kernel experience; and I never
understood the purpose of make-kpkg, so I'm not qualified for this -
sorry.)
