No. http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.en.html#s-customkernel gives a short overview of using make-kpkg. You have to install the kernel package separately using dpkg. Regards, Rob Radez

The SPARC LX in question is completely headless... no keyboard/monitor,
and no serial attached... only power, SCSI, and network... I am curious as
to when such changes took place in the kernel, as things were working as
expected with the 2.2.x kernels.

Is this a new addition to the kernel for the 2.4.x series?
Or, would you recommend any PROM settings I could set to get the current
default behavior of my LX to really power-off when I shutdown?

That was probably my problem. As far as I remember, if you use make-kpkg to build a new kernel package, it does the right thing. (See the Debian FAQ.)

I have just recently been made aware that you need to use the compiler in the egcs64 package on Debian SPARC to compile working 64-bit kernels. That was probably my problem. Actually my kernel *was* built, but I was unable to boot on it. It will take a few days before I'm able to try again, since I cannot set up the system with monitor and keyboard right now. I see that Ben Collins is putting in great effort to make it possible soon to use gcc 3.2 to compile these kernels. That's wonderful. Best regards, David List
Re: auto power-off on a SPARC LX (was Re: Ethernet lockup)
The Ultra patch is not applicable. The SPARC kernel will not power-down
a system with a serial console attached; from process.c:
void machine_power_off(void)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_SUN_AUXIO
if (auxio_power_register && !serial_console)
*auxio_power_register |= AUXIO_POWER_OFF;
#endif
machine_halt();
}
If this implementation bothers you, consider coding-up a sysctl to
modify this behavior.

Great. I'll look into that. Thank you for your answer.
Just curious-- I've got a SPARC LX running Debian 3.0 and a 2.4.21-rc6
kernel... ever since I've upgraded to a 2.4.x kernel on the LX I haven't
managed to get it to auto power-off on a shutdown. The 2.2.x kernels seem
to work fine.
On bootup, however, I DO get a: power-off control detected.
Or some similar message to that effect.
Any ideas? My LX is running headless, so having it automatically
power-off is a very useful feature to me.

In what way? I don't remember having any problem applying the patch with the Debian source packages for 2.4.18 and 2.4.19 and building the result.

There's a patch for this, posted on this list a while ago. I just tested
it yesterday on my Ultra{1,2}, it works the way it should.

Unless there's a more recent version than what I can see, he didn't in the end. See bug #164680. It seems to be unclear whether including that patch in the package is actually the right thing to do or not.
