First, are you using the kernel-source-<version>.deb to install the kernel source? It's not absolutely necessary but it does ease things somewhat. It's in the "devel" section of dselect. Second, I'd suggest using the kernel-package package. You can find it in your dselect menu in the "misc" section. It is the standard way to build custom kernels under Debian. After you've done make config/menuconfig/xconfig you essentially do a make-kpkg --revision <your version> kernel_image and it builds a kernel*.deb file in /usr/src that you just install like any other debian package with dpkg -i kernel*.deb As to why make menuconfig, or make xconfig aren't working for you, I haven't a clue. The kernel source is supposed to come with everything required to make these work, but it's been a LONG time since I installed from the raw kernel source so maybe that's the problem? Or perhaps they only work with gcc 2.7.2.x? Good Luck! Gary -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
