Hello List I am trying to build a kernel for athlon on my pentium machine. It must be 2.4.3 (as I am using at the moment) because I have xfs running on /, /home, and /var. I want to install both kernels for being able to switch all my hardware back to the pentium machine if something doesn't work. I tried to compile the athlon kernel with "--append-to-version athlon" and I get the eroor message
"dpkg-gencontrol: error: package kernel-image-2.4.3-xfsathlon not in control info make: *** [kernel-image-deb] Error 29" Running without --append-to-version gives me a kernel-image.deb which is named exactly as the installed kernel. This is not good, because installing it may overwrite the existing kernel and stealing me the ability to fix anything in case of misconfiguration. Any idea how to produce a kernel with a different name? thanks joerg
