It is better because it doesn't include a whole bunch of modules which can never work on a netwinder, is about 1/3 the size of the standard one, and it realizes the full potential of the Netwinder cyberpro2000 framebuffer. I could probably file a bug, but I have never used stock debian kernels ever except for initial installations. I just figure that everybody else rebuilds their kernel too as a matter of course. Besides, there are a whole lot of arm variations besides the Netwinder, and they are growing as we speak! The stock kernel is not buggy, it just is not optimal.

I have a custom kernel-headers deb package for 2.4.16 on my web page http://webpages.charter.net/bdhilton/arm.html but I am not a Debian developer (yet) and I just made it for my Netwinder. I made it with make-kpkg, and it is a lot better than the default debian netwinder kernel.
In what ways is it better? If you file a bug against the arm kernel package, perhaps we can include those changes in the Debian kernels.
