Kernel 2.6 on Woody

[Davor Balder]

Hi all, 

Is there an easy way to compile kernel 2.6 on Woody?

There are reports that there are issues with modules etc. 

Has anybody done this? What steps should I take?


I have source for 2.6-test5.

When I compile it, I get this (last few lines):

                 ARCH=i386 modules_install
                 make[2]: Entering directory
                 `/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test5'
                 scripts/Makefile.modinst:16: *** Uh-oh, you have stale
                 module entries. You messed with SUBDIRS, do not
                 complain if something goes wrong.
                 if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F
                 System.map -b
                 /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test5/debian/tmp-image -r
                 2.6.0-test5; fi
                 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test5'
                 if [ -x debian/post-install ]; then
                 \
                         IMAGE_TOP=debian/tmp-image version=2.6.0-test5
                         debian/post-install;\
                         fi
                         cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage
                         debian/tmp-image/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.0-test5
                         cp: cannot stat `arch/i386/boot/bzImage': No
                         such file or directory
                         make[1]: *** [real_stamp_image] Error 1
                         make[1]: Leaving directory
                         `/usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test5'


Is there a backport for module-init-tools for Woody (version 0.99)?


Or am I missing something else?


Take care, 


TIA
