dpkg problems with own compiled kernel

[Martin Juhlin <martin.juhlin@home.se>]

Hi

I'm running sarge and having some problems when installing my own compiled 
kernel. Then problem occures in the decompression face when running dpkg on 
the deb-package, the output is included below. The package is built with 
make-kpkg. The following thing is checked :

* Free disc space is 40G and .deb is about 2M.
* fsck and smartctl report no errors
* the file that dpkg complane about is included in the .deb package
* tried both an old known to work package and a new compiled, both return the 
same error. Both package have the same configuration.
* apt-get dist-upgrade is working without any problem

My current kernel is 2.4.27-2-386 and the sarge system is up-to-date. Any 
ideas is welcome....

# dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.27_custom.1.0_i386.deb
