Hi all,
I'm not an expert but I would like to build a kernel .udeb with kernel-wedge.

The problem is related to my main-board, with sis serial ata chip, supported 
only from 2.6.6-rc1, so the need of recompiling a new kernel. 

On other hardwares I succesfully tested d-i- beta 4 from PxE and USB stick and 
I want to build these images with 2.6.6 support.

Tryng kernel-wedge (fakeroot debian/rules binary) on a 2.6.6 recompiled with 
the .config of 2.6.5-1-386 I was asked about missing "ide-generic.o" file 
(the first file in autogen config for modules bt k-w), strange since kernel 
2.6 uses ".ko" for kernel modules.

To obtain that I cloned the "packages/kernel/linux-di-i386-2.6" directory from 
the svn sources and modified "kernel-version"... but maybe I missed 
something, how kernel-wedge support 2.6 ? 

I compiled the kernel .deb  with "fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image --initrd 
- --append-to-version -1-386" for minimum swap of config bytes.

I know that maybe waiting a week or two I can have the official 2.6.6 without 
effort, but I would like to do that myself to learn and maybe to recontribute 
back when I will can. 

Any hints on building those pesky kernel 2.6.6 udebs with kernel-wedge?
