Package: linux-source-2.6.24 Version: 2.6.24-4 Severity: important
Hello, the hurd. Here again! But this time I do have precise facts and I have PARTLY troubleshooted the problem myself. I've noticed that a make-kpkg build of Linux 2.6.24 generates an unusable headers package (i.e. : not suitable for module-assistant). This surprising behavior did not happen with Linux 2.6.22 , using the same procedure to generate the kernel image, headers and external modules. With more details, here are the 2 facts relevant to any further external module build with module-assistant (only for 2.6.24): 1) Really, installing the generated headers package is not enough. 2) It shows necessary to keep the kernel build directory in-place too. I cannot stress less: This surprising behavior did not happen with Linux 2.6.22 ... Hope this report will prove useful. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
