Or, if you want to compile from source your own kernel, please use a packaged kernel *source*. Debian's has a lot of patches in it. Same for RedHat/Fedora, etc. Refer to the kernel-tree-<version> packages in Debian unstable and testing. AND, install and learn to use the kernel-package package, and make-kpkg utility. It will make your life a lot easier. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
