Debian Lenny make-kpkg broken with new kernel

If you use make-kpkg to build your kernels and you’re running Lenny you may have had problems building 2.6.34 when it came out.

change jar

I’ve been a slacker this past month and haven’t posted much technical stuff. Once class ended and work picked up for the summer I pretty much fell off the map. I’m working on a post now to describe the work I did over this past semester and hopefully where it will go over these next [...]
