Don't know if this is the problem, but when you unpacked the kernel, did you rename the top directory from linux to linux-2.2.14? It shouldn't matter (as I think the version number is found elsewhere). Also, did you follow the `make menuconfig ; make-kpkg clean ; make-kpkg --revision=2:custom.1.0 kernel_image' order. That make-kpkg clean is important. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
