To just make an image for testing, upacking the tarball supplied by linux-source-2.6.14, using the config that came with linux-image-XYZ in /boot, and optionally using make-kpkg, should work. Though I think you have most of that happening. > > For now, I've built a kernel using the linux-source-2.6.14 package > (version 2.6.14-2).

There isn't a great deal I can suggest in order to speed up builds, except perhaps using ccache, or trimming the config as you have done. If you need me to build stuff for you, I'm happy to oblige, though obviously there are extra email round-trips involved. -- Horms - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
