Hi I recently reported bug #480436 against kernel-package as I've had 
trouble compiling recent kernels (2.6.25-2) from 
kernel-archive.buildserver.net on Debian unstable on a  Pentium II. The 
last successful build I had was on 5 May from source 
2.6.25-2~snapshot.11251.

..
It appears that the setting of the variable saved_version in

/usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/misc/config.mk

is now broken for recent kernel source packages from 
kernel-archive.buildserver.net as is the target image setting when xen 
is enabled.


By setting saved_version explicitly above and disabling xen in make 
menuconfig, I was able to successfully build and boot the newer kernels.

I tried downgrading perl and its associated packages from 5.10 to 5.8 in 
case that was the problem, but the same error happened:


time make-kpkg --initrd linux-image
exec debian/rules  DEBIAN_REVISION=2.6.25-10.00.Custom  INITRD=YES

== making target CONFIG-common [new prereqs: testdir]==

Has anyone else encountered this problem and knows what the underlying 
cause is?
