Compile kernel on sid -> dependency problem on woody



Hi all,

I compiled a new kernel (2.4.18) for a woody box (a 233MHz pc) on my sid
box (an Athlon 800MHz pc). On sid, I did an 'apt-get install
kernel-source-2.4.26', configured the kernel for my needs, ran
'make-kpkg clean' and used the following command do compile it:

[/usr/src/linux] - 0
[root]@[Kilauea] # MAKEFLAGS="CC=gcc-2.95" make-kpkg \
> --append_to_version  -586mmx --revision=rev.01 \
> --initrd kernel_image modules_image

what gives me a 2.9M file kernel-image-2.4.18-586mmx_rev.02_i386.deb. It
makes me to think that I have a sucessful compiled kernel.

Ok, but when trying to install the image on the woody box this is what I
get:

[~/kernel] - 0
[root]@[Pinatubo] # dpkg --configure kernel-image-2.4.18-586mmx
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of
kernel-image-2.4.18-586mmx:
 kernel-image-2.4.18-586mmx depends on initrd-tools (>= 0.1.48);
however:
  Version of initrd-tools on system is 0.1.32woody.3.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.4.18-586mmx (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 kernel-image-2.4.18-586mmx

Further info:

initrd-tools version on the sid box:
[/usr/src/linux] - 0
[root]@[Kilauea] # apt-cache show initrd-tools | grep -i version
Version: 0.1.70

Please could you please give me some advice or show me what I'm doing
wrong?

Regards,
