2.3 Compiling the Kernel

For a more detailed explanation of how to compile the kernel, and problems which may occur, see the Kernel HOWTO at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

However, in Debian, creating a kernel image package is simple a matter of using the kernel-package package, and typing the following commands:

make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image

This will create a package in the /usr/src directory.
