I'll usually run fakeroot make-kpkg ... I've never needed that -- > Am I misreading the docs? I don't know. What I could suggest you to do is this: make-kpkg --revision... build fakeroot make -f debian/rules kernel-image-deb fakeroot make-kpkg modules_image The above sequence has never failed me. It builds the kernel without a fakeroot jail, and does the install-and-create-a-deb pass inside a single fakeroot jail. I dislike compiling the modules under fakeroot (and the fakeroot docs do warn not to do this), but ALSA seems not to mind it. Anyway, I dislike the horrible idea of compiling something as true root much more, so... (and I've not checked for another way to do it yet. Might as well go read the source of kernel-package and file a bug if there isn't one...) > Here's the last few lines of messages when the build fails: [...] > install -p -d -o root -g root -m 755 debian/tmp-image/DEBIAN > install: debian/tmp-image: Operation not permitted > make: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 1 This suggests a bug in kernel-package. It's not wrapping the *whole* install-and-create-the-deb pass with the root wrapper, apparently. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
