How to compile custom kernel 2.6 for ppc64
I've tried everything I could think of, apt-get source --build, make-kpk, debian/rules binary, dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc but either the kernel does not boot or I cannot install the image due to errors that I find it hard to trace (a sample from yesterday at the end of the message). I do need to compile the kernel to add patches from Ben to handle the fan and to recognize mi model (PowerMac 8,2). Could somebody tell me what are the steps I should take to be able to compile and boot a kernel for ppc64? I already have the etch chroot, as Sven suggested and backported yaird and debconf. Eduardo. PS: The error I got yesterday: Error setting debconf flags in linux-image-2.6.14-2-powerpc64/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.14-2-powerpc64: Unsupported command you (full line was You already have a NoLOADER configuration in /etc/.conf) received from confmodule. at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-2.6.14-2-powerpc64.postinst line 1233, STDIN line3. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

In the powerpc archives, available here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.ports.powerpc?hl=en you might want to search for exactly these topics between April 8 through 15 this year, where compile questions were discussed in great detail, partly ad nauseam: applying patch Compile errors Patching 2.6.11.7 to 2.6.12-rc2 Building packages and compiler flags Recompile a driver, without recompiling the whole kernel I don't know whether there are specific compiler flags necessary for ppc64, but I'd think they're not, simply because gcc might probably realise the system (ppc64) automatically anyway ... Am I right?
