Bug#298610: kernel-source-2.6.8: Could not build an identical original kernel-image with config from kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp

Version: 2.6.8-13
Severity: important

Hi!

I tried to build a kernel like in package kernel-image-2.6.8-1-686-smp
on my side. I take your kernel-source package and put file
config-2.6.8-1-686-smp in /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8/ without any
change.

After make-kpkg --append_to_version -2-686-smp --initrd kernel_image and
install I got a kernel with which VESA-framebuffer for console doesn't work with
boot potion "vga=791" like the original kernel from Debian package.
I get a black screen on all consoles and there is no /dev/fb0 device.

I can't build any self-compiled kernel with VESA-framebuffer from this
source-package.

Is my way to build a original Debian Kernel on my machine wrong or is
there any problem with the kernel-source or config file?


Regards,
Erik
