I'm running Sid. The kernels I have are both linux-image, i.e. the
standard Linux images as obtained from the Debian mirror.
I've tried compiling vanilla kernels but for some reason they fail to do
so, both on my desktop and my laptop. This a new development; they
always used to compile in the past without problems. There was a large
update on Sid a couple of days ago; perhaps this broke things?
