I did this yesterday and I remember when I was new to Debian and I did this, I soon found my kernel replaced with the default kernel image whenever I upgraded my system. Yesterday, I installed a new custom kernel and I know that I can put a hold on the kernel so it is not unintentionally replaced when I update my system, but instead I did something like make-kpkg --revision=custom.<3:2.2.13.A.0> kernel_image I suscessfully installed it and the pcmcia stuff but I don't know yet whether I will lose my custom kernel to the default Debian kernel image on my next system upgrade. I will do 'apt-get -d -y upgrade' next time and make sure it does not happen :) -- Andrew
