Re: Kernel compiling on Debian
RA == Robert Alexander [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: RA One thing that works flawlessly is installing the source package and RA then using the make-kpkg command from the kernel-package package. RA The same source tree used with the usual make menuconfig;make dep;make RA all;make install does not work You maybe need to make clean. RA What is the cleanest way to experiment with unstable kernels which are RA not yet packaged (ex. 2.1.xxx) ??? Just unpack them in the RA /usr/src/linux and use the make-kpkg trick on them and fiddle with my RA lilo.conf to have both old and new kernels to boot ?? I have never done this, but I think this is right (make a bootfloppy, just for the worst case though :-). make-kpkg (or is it lilo) will automaticaly have entries for the two most recent kernels you build in the standard config, IIRC.
