Building Debian Installer images with a custom kernel



I bought three boxes with a motherboard not supported by linux kernel.

The southbridge controller (Sis 965L) needs a kernel patch to use sata
controller and network card.
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4192

I'm following instructions from
http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/svn/debian-installer/installer/doc/custom-kernel.txt

Here's what I did:

1) Downloaded the latest stable kernel source from kernel.org

2) Applied the patch and compile into the deb package
kernel-image-2.6.14.4051223_1.0_i386.deb

3) apt-get source linux-kernel-di-i386

4) edited /usr/src/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-1.12/kernel-versions
leaving just the line
i386     2.6.14.4051223	386	2.6.14.4051223	-	linux-image-2.6.12-1-386

5) then I did

[root@debian:/usr/src/linux-kernel-di-i386-2.6-1.12]# dpkg-buildpackage -b

... but I get the error:

> missing module aha1740

How could I add all the missing modules?

Thanks,
Marco
