You probably rsync'ed the tree as root or another user that's not the one you are using to compile. Give appropiate permissions (or change owner accordingly) to the whole source tree and compile again. fakeroot/dpkg is "the way to go" on debian. I use it without any single problem. As others pointed, if you build the kernel as root it probably will work. However I would not do it. root user is not for compiling kernels. That's what fakeroot (and other tools) were invented for. -- Kiko Please do not reply to the sender address of this email; due to spam and Windows (TM) worms, everything not comming from the list is "stored" in /dev/null.
