relation of trunk-amd64 to trunk-common/ kvm problems

[Ross Boylan <ross@biostat.ucsf.edu>]

Thanks to some earlier advice here, I'm running
linux-image-2.6.29-trunk-amd64; I kept crashing with earlier kernels.

I tried to build the kvm modules but ran into errors (using
module-assistant).  It couldn't find some header files.  These files
seem to be in the -common package but not -amd64:
ii  linux-headers-2.6.29-trunk-amd64     2.6.29-1~experimental.2~snapshot.13314 Header files for Linux 2.6.29-trunk-amd64
ii  linux-headers-2.6.29-trunk-common    2.6.29-1~experimental.2~snapshot.13314 Common header files for Linux 2.6.29-trunk

Could anyone explain to me what the relation is between those 2
packages?  I suspect that one needs both sets of include directories to
buid properly, but m-a is only picking up the -amd64 stuff.

I've googled and looked at the Debian Wiki, but haven't found anything.

Also, if you have any tips on getting kvm running, I'd love that
too--even if the tip is "known not to work with 2.6.29".

I'd appreciate cc on replies.

Thanks.

P.S. image is 
linux-image-2.6.29-trunk-amd64       2.6.29-1~experimental.2~snapshot.13314
