[Voyage-linux] Rebuilding Kernel and Distribution

[Lee Woldanski]

Ok, here's the deal...

I've got the 0.7-SDK downloaded and installed.

I've got the voyage-live (0.7) scripts from svn/trunk installed.

I have the linux-source-2.6.32-voyage package installed.

What I want to do is rebuild the kernel-image package (will make some
changes later, once I get this working), and then re-build the voyage
distribution (img/iso).

If I just take the stock voyage-live scripts, I can re-build a working
img/iso without any trouble.

However, when I re-build the 2.6.32 kernel (make-kpkg --initrd
--revision="8.0-1" --append-to-version="-voyage" kernel-image), I do
get a .deb out of it, but when I decompress it and do a diff with
Punky's linux-image-2.6.32-voyage_8.0-1_i386.deb, they are not the
same.

If I upload MY .deb to a repository and try using it with the
voyage-live scripts to rebuild an img/iso, it fails (it does find and
download it from my repo just fine). It seems to be an
initrd/initramfs issue, and for some reason when I build the kernel
package in linux-source-2.6.32-voyage, a lot of the stuff in
debian/control gets wiped out.

I am done pulling out my hair... help.

How do I re-build that kernel package from the source so that I can
re-integrate it back in to the live build scripts and get it to
re-create an img properly?


Thanks!
