First of all, is there a good Debian kernel building howto? When rebooting with a new kernel I get an error something like kernel panic MODPROBE /lib/module/2.6.8/modules.dep no such file or directory. This file exists the the above directory.
I installed the debian package kernel-source-2.6.8 and bunzip'd and untarred the package. I set the sym link linux to point to the source dir. I built the kernel like this make menuconfig without selecting anything other than the default. make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install. I have two modules directories: The new one for the kernel source: drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2005-12-05 10:14 2.6.8 The one from the kernel supplied by the distribution: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2005-12-04 19:06 2.6.8-2-686 I fixed up grub menu.1st so the new kernel was selectable. When I reboot I get the kernel panic message above. What am I doing wrong and where can I look for a howto on correct debian kernel building technique? Thanks and please advise, Ed
