[aclug-L] compiling the kernel

[Seth Turner <spiff@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This eve, I am planning to recompile a kernel at any extreme.  I have had 
sucess in the past once, however when I made the last one, it gives me a kernel 
panic.  I have tried since to recompile and the computer acts as though all is 
going well, gives me screen upon screen of it is doing this or that, then when
it is finished, I end up with nothing.  I have scoured my hard drive for 
anything that even remotely resembles what I should get for output, however it
is not there.  

I am using debian and trying to go about this via make-kpkg etc.  Anyone willing
to throw out a few pointers or perhaps indications of what might be happening?

tia,
