hi - answering to myself :)

actually I'm at compiling my own 2.4.27 kernel here - my problem is now:
2.4.27-7 is the latest accepted kernel-image-2.4.27-r5k-cobalt source, but the
kernel-tree-2.4.27 I can apt-get is 2.4.27-6 - actually the latest cobalt patch
has been accepted on 31st December 2004 - so I now only try to find the matching
kernel-tree 2.4.27-7 ... show stoppers are some release-critical-bugs, as
documented: http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=kernel-source-2.4.27

now - my stupid question: how comes the patch is in testing for cobalt, but the
source-tree is not yet available - does this make any sense?
and more interesting: is there a workaround for me to build my own kernel
anyway?

thx
