kernel-image-2.2.1 package cannot be created with make-kpkg

[Conrado Badenas <Conrado.Badenas@uv.es>]

Hi all!

I am trying to create a kernel-image-2.2.1 package in order to install
the new kernel. I downloaded and installed kernel-source-2.2.1 and
kernel-doc-2.2.1 packages, read all the files
/usr/doc/kernel-source-2.2.1/* and /usr/doc/kernel-doc-2.2.1/* (except
Documentation directory: 919 Kb of compressed text files), and upgraded
the packages mentioned in
/usr/doc/kernel-doc-2.2.1/Documentation/Changes.gz

I mention that in order that I have read almost everything I should.

Well, then I "make menuconfig" (whilst continue reading for a whole day
individual files under Documentation), at the next day I "make-kpkg
clean" and then "make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image", but
after one hour compiling, this appeared:

DIRECTORY DOESN'T EXIST)

What has happened? What can I do to fix it?

In /usr/doc/kernel-source-2.2.1/Buildinfo and
/usr/doc/kernel-doc-2.2.1/Buildinfo.gz I have read that both packages
were produced by kernel-package version 6.03. I have upgraded
kernel-package to this version and now I am executing "make-kpkg
clean;make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image". Should it work well
now?
