It's sane to do it the

running kernel. I even didn't know that make-kpkg does it automatically.
I would recommend to edit the config, to fit to the OP's machine before
running oldconfig.
# e.g. for Opteron/Athlon64/Hammer/K8
echo "CONFIG_MK8=y" >> /path/to/.config
# e.g. 32-bit only
# HIGHMEM from 4G to 64G
echo "CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G is not set" >> /path/to/.config
echo "CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G=y" >> /path/to/.config

Yes I know but I didn't formulate my earlier e-mail well enough. What I
mean is that you still need to run make oldconfig, be it separately or
be it via make-kpkg. When I think about it I wondered why I replied in
the first place, your mail explains it all. Sorry for the noise :-| On 09/12/2013 07:16 AM, Raffaele Morelli wrote:

Normally, if kernel-package does not find a .config file in the current

and then calls make oldconfig to let the user answer any new questions.
So if you apply the RT patch, make-kpkg will ask you about preemption model.

In 4th reply: `cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config && make oldconfig`
this is quite unnecessary as `make oldconfig` will prompt you for
newer configs not found in your current kernel configuration, moreover
make-kpkg does run `make oldconfig` before start compiling.

True but you still need to run make oldconfig somehow otherwise you end
up with the Preemption Model of the original config you're using.
Best,
