Hi, I finally installed the kernel-package as you suggested. I was hoping first to find out where my problem was coming from with the non-Debian specific kernel compile procedures. I am back to square one after trying `make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 kernel-image'. It poops out at exactly the same place. I am at my wits end. This is basically a paint by numbers procedure for me. I follow the instructions and do what I'm told. I don't have a deep understanding of all the pieces that come together to produce a kernel. I am especially frustrated that I compiled a kernel a few months ago with no problems. I resubmit the error output in the hopes that someone can help me get to the bottom of this, or point me to other resources to which I might turn (I have already posted to comp.kernel.sources without result). I would really like to get sound support into the kernel. Please note the following highlights from the following output. I do not have encaps on my system (`find / -iname encaps', `type encaps', 'file encaps' all negative). To my mind, this means that the `else' clause should be selected rather than the `then' clause of the `if' statement (thus sidestepping the curious illegal `-k' option). It remains a mystery to me why I get this error even if I use the old .config file (no sound support) which was used to compile the kernel I currently run. What could I have possibly changed on my system that is causing me this grief ? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If less abbreviated output, or other info (config files, directory listings, etc) is required, please let me know.
