You probably don't need this, as target kernel-image does all you
need.> compiles with quite few warnings (too many to list) and creates .deb file > installed the .deb file with dpkg -i > (system does boot with -smp kernel..) Ok. > I have a question on entries in /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml-smp > some directory entries that exist in /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml > (drivers, extra, net etc.) are not created in > /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml-smp (only kernel directory is cerated) > Is it normal? Is the -smp kernel using some modules from > /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml or did I make the kernel/modules wrong? Yes, this is normal. No, you can't use modules from another kernel (version). I assume you mean the directories like acx100, bcm, ivtv, linux-wlan-ng,... in /lib/modules/2.6.15-grml? No, you did nothing wrong. This are addons not brought to you by vanilla kernel. What grml ships is documented on: http://grml.org/kernel/#modules Take a look at module-assistant (man m-a) to build the extra modules/packages you need. regards, -mika- -- You like grml?
