can't install compiled kernel
I have trouble installing compiled kernels on my system.
I have a PC164. I loaded Woody 3.0 from CD, then upgraded
to revision 1 over the net. I downloaded kernel
2.2.22 and it was automatically installed successfully.
Rather than reconfigure the kernel, I decided to do
a test compilation with the config file in /boot, so I
would not screw things up with an unacceptible configuration.
I used make kpkg-clean, then
fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image
to make a .deb file. When I tried dpkg -i *.deb, the
installation bombed off with the message:
error processing kernel-image... (--install): trying to
overwrite '/boot/config-2.2.22', which is also in package
kernel-image-2.2.22-generic. dpkg-deb_subprocess paste
killed by signal (broken pipe).
My linuxinfo is as follows:
Linux nh 2.2.22 #1 Sat Oct 26 18:09:21 EST 2002
One Alpha EV56 366.30MHz processor, 363.85 total bogomips, 128M RAM
System library 2.2.5
Any suggestions as to why dpkg -i bombed off?
