Hello, I have a slow powerpc mac and a fast i386 machine. I know how to crosscompile the kernel on the i386 (just change ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE variables in the top Makefile) and do "make zImage" but then I must move all the modules to the ppc by hand. Better way is to crosscompile it using make-kpkg and install only a deb (like any other kernel in debian).
Is it possible? And how? Ondrej Certik P.S. Please send me a CC, I am not on the list. ------------------------- Bellow is what I tried on the i386. (I changed "ARCH=ppc" and "CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/powerpc/bin/powerpc-linux-" in the top makefile.) Note that if I use the "make zImage" than the same kernel sources crosscompile ok. I am using debian unstable.
