On debian based distro's - instead of doing a `make bzImage` just call
`make-kpkg kernel_image` and you'll find a *deb in the parent folder
afterwards. My work-flow looks like this:
#manually untar/patch & configure
VERSION=2.6.29.1-rt8
cd /usr/src/linux-$VERSION/
CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=4 nice make-kpkg kernel_image
dpkg -i ../linux-image-${VERSION}*Custom*.deb
m-a -l $VERSION a-i sl-modem tp-smapi kqemu
update-initramfs -k $VERSION -c
update-grub
reboot
That makes it fairly easy to keep track and cleanly remove old kernels,
since they're .deb packages.

I had some hickups (X11 hanging) with -rt7. that did not [yet] occur
under -rt8. The changelog contains a note about fixing an
hrtimer deadlock. I'm not sure if that's correlated, but it looks like it.
As on every
debian based distro it is very easy to compile a
customized kernel using kernel-package.
Thanks Raffaele, and everyone, for your
responses.
I have built a 2.6.29.1-rt7 kernel. I had to do it the old-fashioned way
because I found the instructions for kernel-package incomprehensible
unfortunately, and I couldn't work out how to make an initrd, so it took
a bit of guesswork to build in the right drivers to make it boot. But I
do at least now have a kernel that works for normal operation, including
suspend and resume.
enjoy,
robin
I haven't tested it yet for realtime work, but I
doubt there will be any hiccups that can't be easily fixed.
So as I said, many thanks :)
Robert
