Re: Potato install problems
Sounds like you havn't applied kernel-patch-...deb or perhaps you
are not using gcc 2.7.2. Building the debian kernel normally goes
something like this:
Install
interpreters/perl-5.005_5.005.03-7.1.deb
devel/kernel-source-2.2.10_2.2.10-1.deb
utils/patch_2.5-2.2.deb
devel/binutils_2.9.5.0.37-1.deb
misc/kernel-package_7.04.potato.3.deb
utils/dpkg-dev_1.6.13.deb
utils/cpio_2.4.2-32.deb
devel/make_3.78.1-8.deb
libs/libelfg0_0.7.0-1.0.1.deb
devel/gcc272_2.7.2.3-15.deb
devel/libc6-dev_2.1.3-10.deb
devel/kernel-patch-2.2.10-m68k_2.2.10-7_all.deb (from dists/woody - equivalent
from potato is probably fine for you)
then proceeded as follows:
cd /usr/src
tar xzf kernel-source-2.2.10.tar.gz
cd kernel-source-2.2.10
mkdir debian
run-parts /usr/src/kernel-patches/m68k/2.2.10/apply
cp ../kernel-patches/m68k/2.2.10/config.mvme147 .config
make-kpkg --revision 2.2.10-rgh1 --subarch mvme147 --arch_in_name kernel_image
Rather than make-kpkg at that point you can 'make oldconfig; make dep...'
etc.
