Re: Rebuilding Wheezy kernel
Hi, sorry for the late answer. I marked it as »to-do« and forgot about it. (Also I hoped that somebody else would answer.)

The reason for this is that Debian kernel builds check that no symbols unexpectedly appear or disappear. If that happens modules that were compiled against a given kernel version would break. That's the -4- in 3.2.0-4-s390x. This is increased when symbols are incompatible and modules need to be rebuilt. It might work to comment out the following line in »debian/rules.real«: python debian/bin/buildcheck.py $(DIR) $(ARCH) $(FEATURESET) $(FLAVOUR) Then probably rules.gen needs to be regenerated.

Thanks and have a good one, too.
