This is the source of the problems. What ever the difference between the debian and non-debian kernel is the issue. If you use a debian kernel tree with the make-kpkg, this should fix the issue. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
