RE: kernel 2.2.6
Hi,
is there any reason not to use kpkg? I have always used kpkg to install Debian
kernels. Makes it very easy. (Of course, kpkg needs to be installed).
I do the following from /src/linux (where the kernel source is unpacked, and
after having run make config or xconfig):
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg -revision=my_revision_number kernel_image (I have used as revsion:
custom.1.0, custom.1.2 etc).
A kernel image (deb) is created in /usr/src
Then finally:
dpkg -i /usr/src/kernel-image-2.2.6_my_revision_number_i386.deb
Modules and everything will be installed. You will be asked if you want to make
a boot floppy, and LILO will be reconfigured.
