How to build /lib/modules/2.6.30.3 ?
 
Running Debian, which was loaded as a complete system with linux-2.6.26-2-686. I downloaded and compiled linux-2.6.30.3.

When getting into the boot phase using grub, it stops with a demand for /lib/modules/2.6.30.3/modules.dep...

I do not have this directory at all.
I do have a directory /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686

I should I create it?

Thanks you,..

It is created when you run
Code:
make modules_install
after compiling the kernel.
So, what steps did you follow to compile your kernel?

I followed the linux-2.6.30.3/README file.
Obviously I missed this order.

Thank you for your promptly answer.

Have you tried the make-kpkg method? I've never run into any of these issues that keep popping up about kernel compiles, etc. Here is my make script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
export CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4
make-kpkg clean
fakeroot make-kpkg --append_to_version -k8 --revision=0.1 --initrd kernel_image
Added:
The result is a .deb file.

I haven't try it. I am not familiar with it.
Looking into man page of make-kpkg gives me a hard time understanding your line.
I need to give it another try.
Anyway, I wrote it down for the future kernels to build.

Thanks you.

You'll find more information here. Ignore the fact that it says Etch. It's the same.

Thank you Quakeboy02, the recommended site looks promising.
