The good news:
The following worked (omitting the 2.6.12-rc2-mm3 patch):
tar xzvf linux-2.6.11.tar.gz cd linux-2.6.11/bzip2 -cd ../../patch-2.6.12-rc2.bz2 | patch -p1 cp ../linux-2.6.10/.config .make oldconfig fakeroot make-kpkg clean time MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-3.4" fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-selinux1 --revision +20050415 kernel_image
THE END:
dpkg-deb: building package `kernel-image-2.6.12-rc2-selinux1' in `../kernel-image-2.6.12-rc2-selinux1_+20050415_powerpc.deb'. rm -f -r debian/tmp-image echo done > stamp-imagemake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/shorty/sources.2.6/kernel-org-source/linux-2.6.11'
Wolfgang, Thanks. Could you send me your /usr/src/linux/.config ?Because I guess I cannot figure out which module handles the new Powerbook's SATA hard drive.
When I compiled my most recent kernel it would not boot because I didn't have an initrd image like the one the Debian net install set up for me. Then I tried making an initrd image but didn't know what I was doing (I don't know which directory to point it to apparently because dpkg -i fails after a make-kpkg with the --initrd flag). Now I'd like to just make sure whatever modules are needed are compiled into the kernel so that it can mount the root partition on boot by itself, without an initrd image. Thanks for any help!
