backports kernel and m-a

[Jeff Jones <jeff_jones_101@yahoo.com>]

Dears,

I'm completely newbie to backports.org kernel image and I have some difficult using it with m-a. 

I've successfully installed linux-image-686 from backports (doing apt pinning) which could point to the latest available kernel image.

Now I'd need to use module assistant to compile the nvidia module. 

When I use m-a prepare -k /usr/src/linux (must use -k in order to notify where linux-headers are due to the name change from kernel-headers to linux-headers)  I receive a message "Warning  kernel source 2.6.16-1 is not configured".

Is there a way to recompile the nvidia kernel package with module-assistant with a backports.org stock kernel ? 

Thanks,
Jeff
