I built it today with the source package as it is, I just added amd64 to the Architecture: line in debian/control. Except for some manual needed intervention (for answering "make oldconfig" questions) it went fine, as far as I can tell. After installing the packet, a freshly debootstrapped etch booted up fine, output attached. I can provide more help if necessary. (I'm doing all this on a friends more-or-less up-to-date x86_64 machine running testing. I'm not root but he is very responsive when it comes to doing stuff as root for me.) I'm wondering about the kernel version: Since the source packet as it is now is build-depending on linux-source-2.6.18 which is not in sid anymore, it will not build on sid right now, I guess? Do you expect the kernel version upgrade to be a big issue? Which steps are needed? Regards, Martin
