[Voyage-linux] More build errors...

[Punky Tse]

Robert,

There are many ways.  My way is to built the kernel package first,
then install it to the chroot envirnoment.  But make sure you didn't
run lilo.

If you don't want to build kernel in debian way, you should also read
the documentation inside the kernel source tree, it tells you how to
install the kernel other than "/".
