Hi.
I used the Debian Linux Kernel Handbook:
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/
I fetched the 3.11.1 kernel source from kernel.org (wget) and unpacked it
under /usr/src.
During installation of Wheezy, I installed my usual tool set including make,
gcc, g++ etc.
To build the kernel, I additionally installed:
build-essentials
fakeroot
devscripts (I don't think we need that)
and run apt-get build-dep linux
And now:
copy configuration from /boot
make oldconfig
make clean (I don't think this is necessary)
make deb-pkg
installation via dpkg -i (4 packages)
configure /boot/silo.conf (additional entry)
and reboot - it works.
You didn't mention the build packages, the rest looks the same ...
Regards,
Hartwig
