Once you do make-kpkg, then you just need to use dpkg to install the resulting kernel-image*.deb file. Don't do a make "modules_install", etc. make-kpkg does it all for you. kernel-source-* is supposed to only contain a tarball. That's not a bug. Use "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV audio" to create the audio devices. -- Stephen Pitts [EMAIL PROTECTED] webmaster - http://www.mschess.org
