Yes. This is what I have been using over the years... 1. make-kpkg clean #if a previous compile has been done 2. make xconfig 3. select kernel modules 4. make-kpkg --append-to-version [kernel version] kernel_image or make-kpkg --append-to-version [kernel version] -rev Custom.1 kernel_image 5. make-kpkg modules_image --append-to-version [kernel version] or make-kpkg modules_image --append-to-version [kernel version] -rev Custom.1 6. cd .. 7. dpkg -i kernel-image-[...] or Install kernel on destination box I have had a kernel in the past which would not finish building which ended up the same way and I just had to touch a file which the make process was not doing and it finished compiling but this time I tried that and the kernel did not even boot past yaboot in the initial screen showing the kernel name and before the actual kernel booting up. This is what I have done. # make-kpkg --append-to-version .ppc-pb1 -rev Custom.1 kernel_image or # make-kpkg --append-to-version .ppc-pb1 kernel_image This is using the vanilla kernel from kernel.org and using 'make oldconfig' from my last working kernel. I have even downloaded the kernel config from http://www.ppckernel.org/specialized.php and preformed a 'make oldconfig' from the powerbook config and I still get the same issue. Sadly, they all return the same results. The only conclusion I can come up with is that something is amiss in the vanilla kernel that is not agreeing with me. If there is a specific place to download the newest PPC kernel tree I don't know of yet? I have a standard box I compile all my Debian kernels which is a 800Hz G4 running Ubuntu and then the kernels are distributed out from there. -Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
