I'll build one. Is the customer using the 32-bit (i386) or 64-bit
(amd64) version of the OS?
Here are instructions for building a patched kernel on the same kind
of Debian system, from a directory containing the twelve patches
from [1] and nothing else:
0. Prerequisites. As root:
apt-get install build-essential fakeroot
apt-get install devscripts
1. Get the source.
apt-get source linux-2.6=2.6.32-45
cd linux-2.6-2.6.32
2. Patch and build.
bash debian/bin/test-patches $(ls ../*.patch)
This should produce a .deb file containing the patched kernel.
As a sanity check:
3. Install and test. As root:
dpkg -i ../<name of package>
reboot
These instructions were taken from [2].
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
