Package: kernel-package Version: 12.031 Severity: normal Hi,
i'm cross compiling a i386-Server-Kernel on my amd64 Desktop system.To do this, i'm using the following command: CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 fakeroot make-kpkg --cross-compile=- --arch=i386 --revision=nostromo.1 kernel_image After a successful build the resulting package is named "linux-image-2.6.31_nostromo.1_amd64.deb" and its architecture is amd64. So this isn't installable on my 32-bit Debian. I tracked this issue down to /usr/share/kernel-package/ruleset/targets/image.mk which contains the targets for building Kernel images. There ist the creation of the control file: dpkg-gencontrol -DArchitecture=$(DEB_HOST__ARCH) -isp \ .... I changed this to "KERNEL_ARCH" which results in the new kernel package "linux-image-2.6.31_nostromo.1_i386.deb", which installs fine on my 32-bit Debian. So i don't know, if this is really a bug or a feature request. If it's not a bug, plz, let me know, how to cross-build a i386-Kernel the right way.
