Fixed the cross-compile problem by adding --arch=amd64 to the make-kpkg
command and the kernel compiles but of the package is strange and it
will not install.
fakeroot make-kpkg --arch=amd64 --initrd --append-to-version=.20060107
kernel-image
The package name is:
linux-image-2.6.15.20060107_2.6.15.20060107-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
which is strange because I gave the target as kernel-image not
linux-image and 2.6.15.20060107 is added to the name twice.
and yaird failed on the install see below.

OK, I am making some progress ... I found this link and it seems pretty

and I have followed these steps except I'm using 2.6.15, ie:
Backporting yaird, texi2html, make, kernel-package
I spent all day going through menuconfig and follow an example config
file the Andrew sent me.
But when I try to compile the kernel it looks like it thinks it should
be trying to cross compile. I'm wonder if it is somehow confused by the
packages I backported?
