Hi guido I wrote the patch for mips and mipsel, but for mipsel there is alread a little bug fixed on the repeat in the chroot. Hm what will you patch for subarches? the kernel-pakage works the fowllowing way 1. configure the kernel 2. make-kpkg with options 3. dpkg -i the kernel.deb or do something other stuff like build bootfloppies The normal kernel-images in the debiantree are diffrent from the kernelpackage and I think not build with it. -- Henning Heinold
