Hello all, I have put modified kernel-patch-2.4.21-amd64 and kernel-package on http://jukie.net/~bart/debian/amd64/. The kernel-package modification splits off amd64 into it's own KPKG_ARCH. I don't think that is the way we want to go in the long run, but for now while the dpkg-* tools are in flux, it makes it a lot easier to generate a _amd64.deb. Note, I plan on changing it back such that KPKG_ARCH==i386 and KPKG_SUBARCH==amd64. I don't think it matter much for the kernel, anyway. As far as the kernel-image binary modules... the kernel boots and I have been using it for development for a few days. You will need Arnd's modified dpkg to install the kernel-image*_amd64.deb, and you will need Arnd's biarch modutils if you need module support. I am likely to release another 2.4.21 in the next few days. I have (at least) the following things to change: - few missing symbols in modules of -amd64 and -amd64-smp kernels (mostly in video4linux, iirc) - 32bit hdparm cannot be used (missing ioctl32), but 64bit hdparm works - once kernel-source-2.4.21 is available I can remove the .20->.21 patch Arnd, thanks for all your help. Regards, Bart. -- WebSig: http://www.jukie.net/~bart/sig/
