 It requires quite a few packages, and it depends on the Debian patched 
 kernel.  If you use the vanilla kernel, you may need to use the standard 
 way.

I have used it on plain kernels many times.  I have never seen any
indication it requries any debian patches.  make-kpkg doesn't seem to
care.

That's good to know.

Although, I think that there is an issue.  I get a series of 
'modules.dep' file not found-type error messages early on boot.  I 
have been wondering if it is something I have done wrong, or there is 
something wrong with the build process.  The system still seems to run 
perfectly well after the init process completes.  I only get that 
message when I build a custom kernel.  A kernel image from sid installed 
through apt boots fine.


This may not be an AMD64 only issue, thus OT.

Am I missing something?
