Re: Error compiling kernel

["Eric G . Miller" <egm2@jps.net>]

apt-get install bin86 kernel-package

# cd <kernel source dir>
# make [config | menuconfig | xconfig]
# make-kpkg clean
# make-kpkg --revision=[epoch:]<version> kernel_image
# dpkg -i ../kernel-image*.deb

See man make-kpkg (really is easier, and dpkg will know about your
kernel).
