Re: make-kpkg...and other things...
Hi,
I'm not sure why the module problems exist (I only had those
problems with old modules lying around), but I can explain the
make-kpkg stuff.
Older versions of what is now called kernel-package used to be
part of the kernel-source package (I think that kernel-source
packages continue to be released with the kernel-package package
built in for historical reasons). The older kernel-{source,package}
packages did not contain the make-kpkg command.
The kernel-package package is designed to work with bare
kernel sources, so you could update your sources ny backing up and
removind debian* stuff from your kernel sources tree, and installing
kernel-package_2.03 (which provides make-kpkg).
Unfortunately, I can't guarantee that the newer kernel-package
will build a kernel that would not be problematic, since I don't
understand what is causing it (I think that ./debian.rule
kernel_image should have produced a kernel that worked).
I hope this helps.
