Hello, I have built some kernels before and now i wanted once to experiment with a kernel patch.Therefore i choose to try and install the debianlogo kernel patch. I use unstable and testing. These are the steps that i did: (i also build the nvidia module) cd /usr/src apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.21/unstable apt-get install kernel-patch-debianlogo/unstable apt-get install nvidia-glx-src/unstable nvidia-kernel-src/unstable tar xjf kernel-source-2.4.21.tar.bz2 tar xzf nvidia-kernel-src.tar.gz ln -s kernel-source-2.4.21 linux cp /boot/config-2.4.20.100603 linux/.config cd linux apt-get install tk8.4/unstable (-> i removed it prior to the kernelbuild so i reinstalled it. This could be useful to add to newbie kernel procedure doc of Kevin McKinley) make xconfig make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --append-to-version=.100703 --added-patches=debianlogo kernel-image modules-image cd ../nvidia-glx-1.0.4349 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc install debs add entry for grub happens automagically reboot My /etc/kernel-img.conf contains: postinst_hook=/sbin/update-grub postrm_hook=/sbin/update-grub My /etc/kernel-pkg.conf contains: patch_the_kernel=YES After installing the new kernel, /boot/patches-2.4.21.100703 contains: /usr/src/kernel-patches/all//apply/debianlogo (It seems the double slashes in front of apply are wrong?) This didn't work: the penguin was still there. So i tried to apply the patch manually: cd /usr/src/linux make-kpkg clean cd ../kernel-patches/all/debianlogo gzip -d debian-logo-2.4.x.gz cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < ../kernel-patches/all/debianlogo/debian-logo-2.4.x make-kpkg --append-to-version=.100703 kernel-image After installing that kernel, i finally saw the debian logo instead of Tux. Regards, Benedict
