The Debian kernel module source packages are generally intended to be built via 'make-kpkg modules-image', from the kernel-package package. You might look at what debian/rules does for the kdist-image target to see if anything particularly magical happens. > <snip> > if [ -d /sbin/init.d ]; then \ > install -m 755 -g -o utils/alsasound /sbin/init.d/alsasound; \ > elif [ -d /etc/rc.d/init.d ]; then \ > install -m 755 -g -o utils/alsasound /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound; \ > elif [ -d /etc/init.d ]; then \ > install -m 755 -g -o utils/alsasound /etc/init.d/alsasound; \ > fi ...this is installing userspace stuff, not the kernel drivers, so in principle you shouldn't be running this code at all. (I know that for lm-sensors, which I maintain, the kernel source package doesn't include a lot of the userspace code, so if you don't either use kernel-package or read the directions in README.Debian your build will completely lose. I do this for two reasons: to reduce the size of the lm-sensors-source package, and so that it won't need to depend on other development packages that aren't needed for the kernel modules.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
