    Hi

    I compile and install the kernel using the debian package process

    make xconfig
    make-kpkg clean
    make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image
    dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.12.5.xxxx

    and because I didn't get it right first time, I want to add just one
    module to the kernel and reboot, e.g. i2c_isa

    However if I run the steps above, it takes another 20 minutes. Is there
    a shorter way of doing it?

    I tried doing it without the make-kpkg clean step, but it didn't create
    the module, or didn't install it in the right directory or something.

    Do I have to do all 4 steps every time, or is there a quick way of
    adding extra modules?

    Thanks
    Adam
