Kernel installed the Debian way with dpkg. Do you have any tips for creating custom (lean and mean) kernel .configs ? (Just out of curiosity) Also did you mean you used the make-kpkg command to build the kernel deb? I am aware that in more recent vanilla kernels there is a deb-pkg option in the Makefile to make linux-image debs. > > Pretty plain setup, except for the mobo.
