Re: kernel upgrade to 2.4.18
1.) Don't both with linking to linux. Just:
cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.18
make menuconfig
make-kpkg
2.) Don't use --revision to note the kernel version; make-kpkg will do
that for you. Use --revision if you want to tag it to specific config
options you've used. I generally do:
make-kpkg --revision ofcx.y
where x.y is a version of my configuration, NOT of the kernel itself.
Hope this helps.
