Hi,

I tried to build an recent linux 2.6.33-rc something in an unstable
Debian chroot. I had the following issues (plus workarounds / fixes) -
please don't hesitate to ask me if you have further questions.


I have a questions:

* Were you able to produce a *bootable* kernel after your workarounds?

* What did your make invocation look like?

The reason I ask it that you are using a compiler that defaults to little-endian and 32-bit. Unless you did something to override these defaults, I would be surprised if you obtained something bootable.
