Possibly true! Compiling via 'make-kpkg --revision custom modules_image' is the "correct" procedure for creating the package pcmcia-modules. Sebastian, did you get the pcmcia source from the pcmcia-cs package or from the pcmcia-modules package? They are in fact two different things, and I think you want the latter. You shouldn't need to recompile pcmcia-cs as such for the kernel since it's only the modules that the kernel is interested in (though you need both for pcmcia to run). What I do is download the pcmcia-cs package (since I can't access it if I'm shutting down pcmcia), and the source for pcmcia-modules. I compile the modules, then I dpkg -i both packages. Apart from that, double-check you have debian/rules for both the kernel source *and* for pcmcia-cs (which comes from pcmcia-modules, confusing, huh?) Bonne chance! Drew
