Re: Sarge not booting kernel used in links

[Jim Seymour <bluejay@speedfactory.net>]

Hi Gonzalo,

	I followed this to make and install the kernel:

# apt-get install debhelper modutils kernel-package libncurses5-dev
     # apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.22
     # apt-get install fakeroot
     # vi /etc/kernel-pkg.conf
     $ cd /usr/src
     $ tar --bzip2 -xvf kernel-source-2.4.22.tar.bz2
     $ cd kernel-source-2.4.22
     $ cp /boot/config-2.4.22-1-386 .config
     $ make menuconfig
     $ make-kpkg clean
     $ fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -486 --initrd \
             --revision=rev.01 kernel_image \
             modules_image
     $ cd ..
     # dpkg -i kernel-image*.deb pcmcia-cs*.deb

This is from the Debian Reference.  I did not touch lilo.conf.  At 
present lilo.conf still has the original modification date.  Also 
fakeroot did not work for me and I had to su to root.  Permission was 
denied to certain files using fakeroot.  Also I had installed the Debian 
patch for the Tekram dc3x5  scsi controller and set 
PATCH_THE_KERNEL=YES.

Thanks,

Jim Seymour
