    Yes, I'm using kernel-package.

    I added that config option but I am still getting problems.

    Firstly, if I do the following:

    (1) add the i2c_isa option as a module using make xconfig
    (2) sudo make-kpkg --initrd kernel-image
    (3) sudo dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.xxxxx.deb
    (4) sudo reboot

    I still haven't got i2c_isa. To get it I must do the make-kpkg clean
    stage too.

    Secondly, why do I need root privileges for make-kpkg kernel-image? This
    step merely creates the kernel*.deb file, I thought.

    Thanks
    Adam
