Re: Compiling vanilla kernel issues.



Could you send me a link to the exact procedure you used. I keep find like four different ways to make a vanilla kernel for Debian.

Two of my systems are SCSI based and both of those have problems when I do the standard

cp /boot/config-<Old Version> ./.config

make oldconfig
make deb-pkg

dpkg -i linux-*.deb

Hi.

Last night, I've built a kernel 3.11.1 from kernel.org the Debian way (as
described in "Debian Linux Kernel Handbook") - without any problems.

My test environment: a fresh installation of Wheezy (7.0.1) on a Sun Ultra 60,
i.e. a SCSI machine.

I'm going to do a test with an ATAPi/IDE Blade 100 as well, but I have to set
up this machine first - that will take a while.
