Actually I tried it both with the link and without the link. With the link all the modules where created in the kernel-image deb file. But without the link only a tiny fraction of the requested modules where created by make-kpkg. I think make-kpkg really does need a soft link whose name is linux, not a soft link to a target named linux. But probably it is not make-kpkg that needs the link so much as some kernel build script that is invoked by make-kpkg. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin > Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill > [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu > > > > -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
