No, modules should not have to be built on the same system that will use them. (I can accept that they have to be built on the same Debian architecture.) I run the amd64 kernel flavour on i386 and I wouldn't be able to use this module directly but I should still be able to build it for some other kernel flavour. The same problem can occur with an i386 chroot on an amd64 build host. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Computers are not intelligent. They only think they are.
