Re: kernal upgrade trouble
Hi,
The suggested packages (from /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz)
are:
======================================================================
Before you go any further, please allow me to point out that you need to
have a few other packages installed before you can compile your own kernels
(it is difficult to compile anything without a compiler ;-).
Firstly, you will need gcc, the libc development package (libc5-dev at
the time of writing), and, on Intel platforms, bin86. [If you use the
menuconfig target of make, you will need ncursesX.X-dev, and make xconfig
also requires tkX.X-dev, and other packages these depend on]
The packages suggested are:
devel: gcc, libc5-dev, binutils, make, and, for intel x86 platforms,
bin86 (non-intel platforms don't need this).
interpreters: gawk.
base: gzip, shellutils, and grep.
======================================================================
I think that you are missing libc5-dev. May I also suggest
that you try out the package kernel-package? It should be in
the section misc, and has beeen designed to ease the task of
compiling and maintaining kernels on Debian machines.

I think it's a new feature. Don't tell anyone it was an accident.
