[Linux-disciples] where to compile from

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Hmm--I'm not sure why the source to your running kernel isn't in your
apt sources... It should be.  Maybe you need to expand your
sources.list?  I haven't done this with Ubuntu so I'm not sure, maybe
Steve can chime in?

You don't really need to use the distribution-specific kernel source,
however.  You could go get a "vanilla" kernel from kernel.org and still
use the Debian/Ubuntu package building tools.  It will probably work fine.

I.e.:

cd /usr/src
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.11.7.tar.bz2
tar xfj linux-2.6.11.7.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.11.7
cp /boot/config-2.6.10-5-386 .config
vim .config
	[make the necessary changes]
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version=-karl --revision=1 kernel_image
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.11.7-karl-1.deb

I think that would do it.
