Would you like to try building your own debian kernel package?
Its pretty easy:

- apt-get install kernel-package
- extract the linux 2.6.12 sources in /usr/src (for example)
- apply the patches you would like to include
- copy /boot/config-2.6.8 to /usr/src/linux-2.6.12/.config
- 'cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.12 && make menuconfig' and add the
 options you would like to have
- make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --revision 1 --initrd buildpackage


Good luck

Hi Harald,
sorry one question: I missed the meaning of "buildpackage" option. I always used something like:

fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-custom --initrd -revision=rev.02 kernel_image modules_image

Is this not right for compiling a vanilla kernel?

Thanks again,
MC
