Yes, I'm doing that with your practice as a model. > Unless you mean that there should be yet another package that does > not contain vmlinuz, this means more work in kernel-package -- > especially since there is no analog in other arches; Please, note that there is no vmlinu*z* when I compile this kernel (this has a tree of an already compiled kernel): - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/media/cross-compile/linux$ find . -iname "*vmlinuz*" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/media/cross-compile/linux$ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - There's only a vmlinu*x* on the top level directory of the tree. > and thus make-kpkg would need t special case powerpc, and create a > different control file on that arch -- only in some cases. I don't recall what is the situation with a NewWorld powermac, but I used to use make-kpkg fine there. With OldWorld powermacs, I seem to remember that, for a miboot image, I had to grab one of the kernel images, compress it with gzip and put it into a floppy. But that's not the case here. I'm happy with both NewWorld and this embedded machine working. We can see the OldWorld case latter, when I get the dust off it latter. > > cp arch/powerpc/boot/uImage /tmp/kernel/boot/uImage-$VERSION > > cp arch/powerpc/boot/dts/kuroboxHD.dtb > > /tmp/kernel/boot/kuroboxHD.dtb-$VERSION > > cp arch/powerpc/boot/dts/kuroboxHG.dtb > > /tmp/kernel/boot/kuroboxHG.dtb-$VERSION > > These are the three extra files that need to be copied over.

Well, a postinst script on the package would take care of it. I just couldn't get it done with a here-doc shell script due to quoting and I didn't bother going further. I'm installing the packages with --force-all passed to dpkg for the time being.
