Re: problem compiling kernels

Ok, now I feel a bit of a fool, this does seem to be a bug either in the kernel source (non-debian), or in the way kernel-package parses v2.4 info. I looked at my last mail and realized I was builing a "test" kernel on an "unstable" system. I logged into my workstation running "stable" with 2.2.
