But 2.6.24 had many changes. The x86 + x86_64 merger. This leads to a broken asm symbolic link in the linux-headers package because include/i386 is no more present. I also noticed that the Debian shipped 2..6.24 packages have a lot things done. A lot of include files have their names and locations changed, which make many of the add-on kernel module packages fail to build. nvidia, kqemu, luvc and more. But with the Debian shipped kernels, nvidia built without any problems. BTW, how do the packagers build it ? Don't they use kernel-package ?
