sidux-Kernelhacking - broken link linux-headers/include/asm to asm-i386

Self compiled package and installed:
"dpkg -i linux-headers-2.6.25-6.slh.1-r1_1_i386.deb"
produces an empty link
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-6.slh.1-r1/include/asm to asm-i386
In my kernel source that link points an existing directory:
/home/ral/src/linux-source-sidux-2.6.25/include/asm to asm-x86
Where should i configure architecture?
Command "dpkg --print-installation-architecture" gives "i386"
I have a x686 capable pentium-m processor, so Kernels ".config" is set:
CONFIG_MPENTIUMM=y
CONFIG_X86_PC=y
# CONFIG_X86_GENERIC is not set

Found answer in some thread. Slh said:
"kernel-package ist seit 2.6.24 nicht mehr in der Lage funktionsfähige Headers zu erzeugen."
(en: kernel-package is since 2.6.24 not able anymore to build good headers)
This means:
1. keep sources after kernel build
2. no "make clean" !?

I thought someone else would reply with a better answer, but I'll try
1. Yes, keep the sources.
2. I don't use make clean, but make oldconfig, install the latest kernel in that way you can use the same config file and you can modify later with "make menuconfig"
a. Don't install the generated headers.
b. Go to /lib/modules/linux-headers-2.6.25-6.slh.1-r1 and make sure build points at /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.25-6.slh.1-r1/
c. the source symb link should point at /home/ral/src/linux-source-sidux-2.6.25/
d. go to /usr/src and create linux-headers-2.6.25-6.slh.1-r1 pointing to /home/ral/src/linux-source-sidux-2.6.25/

What about linux headers common? The debian and sidux kernels both have them, but there's no way possible to create them with make-kpkg!

kernel-package (which provides make-kpkg) has been broken for months.

Ouch, well what are you guys doing as the workaround at the moment then?

A Workaround is:
Download:
Code:
wget http://neotux.net/dists/sid/main/binary-all/misc/kernel-package_11.001-0.neotux3_all.deb
and install it:
Code:
dpkg -i kernel-package_11.001-0.neotux3_all.deb
it is a fixed version from kernel-package...
Have Fun!

new version now also available for amd64 and i386 kernel headers
Code:
wget http://neotux.net/dists/sid/main/binary-all/misc/kernel-package_11.001-0.neotux4_all.deb
have fun

I wonder if someone in the sidux team can take a look at the source and review it so it can be merged in the sidux repo
http://neotux.net/dists/sid/main/source ... ux4.tar.gz
As long its license allows it, of course
