I don't mean to butt in to a private conversation here, gentlemen, but I too have noticed the problem with kernel-package and Linux 3.x, and I have published an unofficial patch that seems to enable it to work. The patch is available here http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/kernel-package/linuxv3.diff I refer to this patch on my kernel-building web page http://users.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm As I state in my web page, this is an unofficial patch: it is not provided by, nor endorsed by, the upstream author or the Debian package maintainer for kernel-package (i.e. Manoj). It seems to work for me and for my purposes, but I do not warrant the patch to be free from defects. Take this with as many grains of salt as you think it's worth. P.S. kernel-package is also incompatible with make 3.82 -- .''`. Stephen Powell : :' : `. `'` `- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
