Regards. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #710535 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710535 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to dkms in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186333 Title: Permit to build for older kernel Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hello, In our derivative we provided a patched Ubuntu kernel, today for lucid we are at version 2.6.32-47-eole. To avoid overpatching the kernel for drivers, we provides DKMS packages, but we have an issue with detection of newest kernel version. If the current system is running 2.6.32-47-generic (from CD installation for example), when we install our 2.6.32-47-eole and its headers, the DKMS package is built and installed only for the -generic. The work around is to let dkms_autoinstaller do the job: 1) install the DKMS module, then install the kernel headers, installing both in the same "apt-get install" invocation fails. I made a patch to add an option to build the DKMS modules for all installed kernels. Regards.
