[Debian] Re: Bug#403712: kernel-patch-openvz: Cannot compile kernel, undefined symbols

[Ola Lundqvist]

Hi David

When I compiled the kernel yesterday using the same version of the kernel
and the openvz patch I did not need to do anything with symlinking.

My compile line look something like this:
export PATCH_THE_KERNEL=true
untar xxx.tar.gz
cd /usr/src/linux
make-kpkg -rfakeroot --append-to-version -openvz --added_patches openvz \
	--revision 02 --initrd

I used the same .config file as in the upstream version.
I built it for 486, 686 and k7.

Regards,

// Ola
