creating kernel debs on other architectures
Hello,
I have a slow powerpc mac and a fast i386 machine. I know how to
crosscompile the kernel on the i386 (just change ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE
variables in the top Makefile) and do "make zImage" but then I must
move all the modules to the ppc by hand. Better way is to crosscompile
it using make-kpkg and install only a deb (like any other kernel in
debian).
Is it possible? And how?

P.S. Please send me a CC, I am not on the list.
-------------------------
Bellow is what I tried on the i386. (I changed "ARCH=ppc" and
"CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/powerpc/bin/powerpc-linux-" in the top makefile.)
Note that if I use the "make zImage" than the same kernel sources
crosscompile ok. I am using debian unstable.
