Hi there! When using kernel-package (Debian specific kernel-management) to cross-compile a kernel in a i386-chroot on my x86_64 laptop modules_install fails when trying to depmod things. Since we should not depmod those things if the arch being built isn't the same as 'uname -m' I wrote a patch for the Makefile to test those conditions. Sincererly PS I'm not subscribed to those lists, please CC me on reply. DS -- Christian .-.
