I believe the files from kernel.org that start with patch are used to update an existing 2.6 kernel source of an earlier version to the new version. Since you are going from 2.4.27, you should download linux-2.6.11.7.tar.bz2. > This is rather confusing since I have built a total of 2 kernels and this > with the help of a friend. I'm guessing, but your friend probably built the kernel the way described in the docs that come in the kernel source tree. This will work on Debian, but you will have to do some things manually that will be done for you using the kernel-package program. One example is if you used grub as your boot loader. the "make install" command doesn't understand Debian's grub, so you will have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst manually after you are done. The kernel-package is a Debian program, so it knows about Debian's grub. Hope this helps. Kenny
