Thanks. Will this work if (using the debian-packaged kernel-
source-2.4.18) I make build my kernel using the non-Debian
way:
make clean
make [old|menu|x]config
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.xx
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.xx
I'm wondering if there might be a slight directory naming
problem between the generic /lib/modules/2.4.18 and any
variant /lib/modules/2.4.18-? added by make-kpkg.
TIA,
Ron
