Compiling my own kernel

[Mario Jorge Nunes Filipe <mjnf@neptuno.sc.uevora.pt>]

Hi

I finnaly did it! I compiled my first kernel!

Everything went (sort of) smoothly except for one thing.

I got the kernel-source package from potato (2.0.36) and kernel-headers
(is this one necessary?). I also got kernel-package!

I made make xconfig. make dep; make clean. and then make-kpgp
--revision=0.1 kernel_image it compiles ok but in the end i get :
test -f System.map &&  cp System.map \
                        debian/tmp-image/boot/System.map-2.0.36
test -f System.map &&  chmod 644 \
                        debian/tmp-image/boot/System.map-2.0.36
dpkg-gencontrol -pkernel-image-2.0.36-i586 -Pdebian/tmp-image/
dpkg-gencontrol: error: package kernel-image-2.0.36-i586 not in control
info
make: *** [stamp-image] Error 29

So i dont have a deb of my kernel, but i got it in debian/tmp-image/boot
so everything is ok.

I just wanted to know what did i do wrong!

Thanks
