Trouble with Debian kernel build
I am trying to build a kernel the "Debian way" and am stuck. According
to the FAQ, the first thing a need to do (from memory) is:
make-kpkg --install kernel-package_2.0.36_all.deb
However, there is no kernel-package_2.0.36.deb package.
I am in the /usr/src directory, and there are files here called,
(again, from memory) kernel_headers.2.0.36.tar.gz and
kernel_sources.2.0.36.tar.gz . I have the following packages installed:
kernel_headers.2.0.36-3, kernel_source.2.0.36-3, kernel-package.
So what gives? Do I have to untar/zip the files? Why didn't the
installation do this? I'm afraid to do anything to screw-up the
kernel packages, and I have never built a kernel under Debian.
Thanks,
Bryan
