I followed the instructions in /usr/doc/kernel-package but I had doubtts about whether I had put the kernel source in the correct place, mostly because of the errors about modules, which I kept seeing in my logs. I did it the old way today, and if I don't see the same errors, I probably did something wrong *after* installing the kernel image debs. -- Andrew > > >
