Dselect reinstalls kernel

[Steven Feinstein <stevefeinstein@netscape.net>]

Hi,

I've rebuilt the kernel (using Debian v2).  I created a deb using            
make-kpkg --zImage kernel_image
and installed the new kernel using dpkg -i.

I rebooted the machine and everything works fine.  later, I decided to install
another package from the main distribution CD.  I ran dselect and selected the
package to install.  That package got installed, but during the dselect
install process, the kernel-image from the CD was installed.

I saw this happen because I got the message about having to reboot right after
the install was finished (the same message I got when I installed my new
kernel).  I verfied the date of the kernel in /boot and it had reverted to the
original kernel from the CD.

I reinstalled my kernel again, but I am worried about using dselect anymore to
install from the main CD.

Any ideas as to why this happened?

Thanks,

Steve
