Re: Kernel 2.4.12 compile problem

[danielt@ee.byu.edu]

I know this is probably silly, but I had a lot of headaches with kernel
compiling and installation until I ran across the kernel-package package.
I just made a kernel debian package using the 'make-kpkg' which that package
provides yesterday, and it came off like a charm (2.4.12, too).

Anyway, you may already be familiar with it, but if not, it's worth a
look.
