Re: modules

[David B Wilson <dbwilson@IAS.EDU>]

   I'd suggest building and installing your kernel using the
   kernel-package package.  The basic sequence is 'make config', run
   make-kpkg to build the kernel and make a Debian package from it, and
   then use dpkg to install the kernel.

When I did "make-kpkg --zimage buildpackage"
I eventually got
dpkg-gencontrol: failure: chown new files list file: Illegal seek
make[1]: *** [stamp-source] Error 29
(I'm assuming that's what you meant when you said "run make-kpkg".)
In any case, there's no .deb file to install.  (I'm assuming I need
one to use dpkg.)

   DBW> Is there a way to get a log of all the boot messages?

   Take a look at dmesg.

For some reason the messages about unresolved symbols in the modules
aren't shown by dmesg.
