Incorrect. Using --revision-number=custom.1.0 will result in a creation of ../kernel-image-2.4.5_custom.1.1_i386.deb . This is a different revision of the same debian package kernel-image-2.4.5 . He does want as Joost suggests: --append-to-version=athlon , which will result in something like ../kernel-image-2.4.5athlon_Custom.1.00_i386.deb , which is a debian package for kernel-image-2.4.5athlon , and will insert appropriately named files in /boot (i.e. vmlinuz-2.4.5athlon , System.map-2.4.5athlon and config-2.4.5athlon ). I agree with Joost: what is needed is a make-kpkg clean, so that when the control files are rebuilt they will be for the package kernel-image-2.4.5athlon Vineet * ktb (ktb@nixnotes.org) [010630 10:13]: > On Sat, Jun 30, 2001 at 04:45:33PM +0200, Joost Kooij wrote: > > On Sat, Jun 30, 2001 at 08:22:02AM -0500, ktb wrote: > > > >From zless /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz - > > > make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image > > > > Nope, this does not make any differences to the filenames that are > > installed by the package, which is what the original poster was after. > > The --revision option sets debian control info only. > > Joerg Johannes wrote: > >>> I am trying to build a kernel for athlon on my pentium machine.
