Thanks Russell! I did not know about the reference you quoted. But... I did not explain well enough!
I do NOT want to remove the kernel-image package because it will remove my kernel which works very well. I just want "him" not to try to reinstall, because it is already installed, except for the initrd image which does not matter because it is not used by Knoppix!
I cannot believe nobody else has run into this, they must not use make-kpkg nor the booted Knoppix CD to customize a kernel.
Reading man dpkg I do not see an option that says: "do not try to reinstall the package"...
I haven't used kpkg for a long time. When you remove a package from the system, it doesn't usually remove the .deb file, so you can use dpkg -i to reinstall it. You could try making a copy of it just in case.
