I had used make-kpkg to build a debian package of linux 2.0.13 sources
and installed the resulting .deb . Then I found that I had to 
reconfigure because my sound card will not work in windows every time I 
run Linux and switch back to win 95. I have to run DOS 5.0 to revive the 
sound in win 95. Since the IRQs and addresses were different in win 95
I decided to make the sound irqs in win 95 the same as in linux.

Anyway after make config , make-kpkg refuses to run telling me there is
nothing to make. What do I need to do to have make-kpkg rebuild with the 
new config ?
