Bug#509613: Kernel Compile

[Lars Hanke <lars@lhanke.de>]

Hi there,

I'm now ready set to compile a kernel and patch it with the upstream 
patches. However, last time I compiled a kernel myself, was before the 
days of make-kpkg - and it's not to compile any kernel, but the official 
one.

This is the best guess I tried after stress-testing google for some 
hours and suffering lots of unsuccessful attempts:

rm -Rf linux-2.6-2.6.26; apt-get source -t testing linux-2.6
cd linux-2.6-2.6.26; make-kpkg --added_patches=openvz clean
# get the config from the node into the container ...
scp root@asgard:/boot/config-2.6.26-1-openvz-amd64 .config
make-kpkg --append_to_version=-1-openvz --revision=1 --initrd --rootcmd 
fakeroot -uc -ua buildpackage

[answer all of the remaining configure questions by <CR>]

This finally generates kernel packages. But I'm still not sure, whether 
these are the correct ones. Can you confirm that this is the right way 
to build the kernel packages? Otherwise, what am I doing wrong?

Regards,
