Here's what I do and it works perfectly every time, with 2.2.18: - Install the kernel source and pcmcia source and configure the kernel - compile the kernel # make-kpkg kernel_image - compile the modules # make-kpkg modules_image - this makes a deb of the pcmcia modules associated with this kernel deb - install the kernel # dpkg -i kernel_image.deb - I've already got my system setup to boot to multiple kernels with lilo - I verify that the vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old links are set properly - I update my boot message file and rerun lilo to make sure all is good - install the modules # dpkg -i pcmcia_image.deb - this puts the pcmcia modules in the /lib/modules/2.2.18-# directory. - reboot and pick the new kernel at the lilo prompt
