Package: linux-image-2.6.29-2-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.29-5
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source


I am trying to build linux-image-2.6.29-2-xen-amd64 from the source
package, and admit I don't have a clue how to do this.  (Some doco
in debian/README.txt on how to use the featuresets would be nice).  In
the end I edited debian/config/defines and set "enabled" to "true"
for the xen feature.

The debuild without the xen featureset worked. With the xen feature
enabled it died trying to copy vmlimuz to the install directory.
This is because there is no vmliumz under arch/x86/boot.  There
is however a bzImage.  Changing line 418 in debian/rules.real
from:

  cp '$(DIR)'/arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/vmlinuz 
$(INSTALL_DIR)/vmlinuz-$(REAL_VERSION)

to:

  cp '$(DIR)'/arch/$(KERNEL_ARCH)/boot/bzImage 
$(INSTALL_DIR)/vmlinuz-$(REAL_VERSION)

seemed to fix the problem. Well it does if:

  ls -l linux-image-2.6.29-2-xen-amd64_2.6.29-5_amd64.deb 
  -rw-r--r-- 1 it it 2159982 2009-05-27 17:22 
linux-image-2.6.29-2-xen-amd64_2.6.29-5_amd64.deb

means it is fixed.  Might introduce other problems though - I
didn't check.
