The packages I have built are based on the mainline ubuntu kernel source from which the -generic, -server and other flavours are generated. If you run apt-get source linux-image-2.6.27-11-generic and download the diff.gz and .dsc files from the ppa a debdiff linux_2.6.27-11.27.dsc linux-2.6.27-11.27~ppa2.dsc shows you what I have changed exactly. > So, I would really apreciate if you could describe the procedure you > have used or if you just give me some pointers in the right direction Hope this helps, Christoph
