alsa in Debian using the stock 2.4.27 kernel wasRe: hello listers

[Eric Kosten]

Kenny:
Hi.

I use the program found in Debian called kernel-package to build my
kernels.  It compiles the kernel and produces a Debian package.  This
package isn't official, but I find it useful to create local packages of
my kernels so I can easily keep track of what I have installed in
aptitude.

Eric:
Kernel-package packages my 2.4.27 kernel?? Does this allow me to then keep
an immage of the kernel for a "fall-back form"?
Kenny:
Download a tarball of kernel source from kernel.org.  Checkout speakup
from the speakup CVS using the checkout script on the speakup web site.
Configure your kernel for your system.  Finally type

make-kpkg kernel_image
Eric:
kernel immage being the 2.6.11.7 kernel source tree that I just downloaded??
file name: patch-2.6.11.7.bz2
Kenny:
If it finishes with no errors, you will have .deb package in the parent
directory.
just type

dpkg -i packagename

This is rather confusing since I have built a total of 2 kernels and this
with the help of a friend.

just type

dpkg -i packagename

as root to install.  Reboot and hope you configured the kernel with all
important hardware support.

Hope this helps.
