[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#515258: hal hangs with 2.6.29-rc5

[Stuart Pook]

This problem seems to have been solved in the kernel 2.6.30-rc2.
When using this kernel hald starts without any problems.

Can someone indicate where I can find a howto for compiling an
official kernel using Debian? kernel-package 12.009 says in
/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/NEWS.Debian.gz "we no longer
cater to official kernels." How does one now create an
.deb from an official kernel that makes a /boot/initrd.img image
when it is installed? I used to use make-kpkg but it belongs
to kernel-package and no longer creates a initrd even with the
option --initrd.

thanks
