Re: Trouble Compiling modules/kernel

["Nick Gawronski" <nick@nickgawronski.com>]

Hi, As I am building my own kernel and have read the installation file is it 
still possible to just compile speakup and dectalk express driver in the 
kernel if I don't plan on giving away the kernel?  It says in Installation 
that this can be done but I wonder how updated that file is.  This way I 
could get rid of the kernels that debian produces and manage them on my own.

You'd have to build your modules with module-assistant and your kernel with
kernel-package.
This will build a .deb for your kernel and a headers package you can
install.
Alternatively you are managing the symbolic links for the include
directories yourself and this gets tricky.

I run the pre-compiled distribution kernels with the bundled initrds as I
see no problem with the prebuilt kernels and modules outside the kernel tree
cause me no problem.
Someone else will have to sit down and document how to use an out of
distribution kernel.
I posted a guide to what I did to build the modules in late december, this
will be in the list archives.
The url for the list archives is in every message posted to this list in the
headers. go take a look.
the article you seak will be posted in late december from Kerry Hoath
or use google.
Regards, Kerry.

Hi, well the best way to do this would just be to remove all old information
that is no longer usable and update it with the new git information and get
rid of the cvs stuff.  If I have a kernel source tar archive from kernel.org
and want to use it with debian where can I put the sources where the speakup
git modules will see them?
