One question, did you issue the command fakeroot make-kpkg clean or make-kpkg clean as root? Fakeroot is a package you need to install. 2.6.11.7 built me a working kernel on debian from the kernel source on kernel.org. I don't know what is in sid.Remember when making speakup for 2.6 kernels you do make mrproper, then ./install from the speakup source directory, then your prefered make config or make menuconfig and finally the make-kpkg commands. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Gray" <chrisg@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup with LinuxList" <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 4:20 PM Subject: a Debian Question > Hi: > > I hope you will forgive a Debian-specific question here.
