advise on using make-kpkg to create kernel-heades



Hi,

Sorry, if this is not directly related to the kernel mailing list, but this has been driving me mad.

I've made several kernels using make-kpkg
(from kernel-package unstable), using the
debian kernel-source-2.6.7, with the following command:


make-kpkg --append_to_version=-k7.bootsplash --initrd binary


plus the bootsplash patch, the whole process goes great, and all the
debs are built ok, that was until I bought a new video card and tried to
install the nvidia drivers, I got loads of errors, so I download the
official debian kerenel-headers, kernel-image and kernel-source and it
compiled fine, so I looked in the kernel-headers directory and in my
kernel-headers directory.


using my created kernel-headers deb, it only includes:


include  kernel-headers.revision  Makefile


where as using the official debian version, it includes:


arch     fs       ipc                      lib       net       sound
crypto   include  kernel                   Makefile  scripts   usr
drivers  init     kernel-headers.revision  mm        security

There are actual symlinks to the include/ directory


I've added the following line to the /etc/kernel-pkg.conf
do_clean := NO


yet it still only produces these few files and no symlinks,
I've gone through the make-kpkg man pages several times and google doesn't seem to bring anything usefull up either.


(This is the same for kernels 2.6.6, 2.6.7, 2.6.8)


Is this still a bug, or am I doing something wrong, missing an option off?


Cheers


Mark
