Hello N. Pauli, Well... that might've been me, I recently got to compile a kernel... I got it working now, but thanks for the suggested howto ! Most of my actions were the same, but there's one big difference - do you know why this article recommends: make-kpkg -rev Custom.1 kernel_image while the other article I used says: make-kpkg --append-to-version=bla kernel_image Well anyway... Maybe it's an idea to put all results and howto's in a FAQ section somewhere... ? As a FAQ can be easier/faster than searching a huge user list... regards, Joris __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
