[vox-tech] Kernel compiles with a dash of debian magic

[Richard Burkhart]

I'm trying to learn the arcane art of kernel compiles ... my goal is to 
get ndiswrapper compiled as a module, operational, and driving a linksys 
wireless card.

Thanks to a guide at http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=2949 I've 
got the 'compile' part down, using make-kpkg to build the kernel image 
as a .deb file and automagically install it.

Of *course* there's something I'll do wrong.  Last night's attempt to 
build a trimmed 2.4.29 kernel is kernel panic'ing in the boot process.  
Sooo ... time to try again. Except --  how do I get rid of the damaged 
kernel & modules so I can try again? 

The guide at  http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html 
suggests the command "dpkg -P /boot/(kernel image name)" to uninstall 
it.  That didn't work  

Trying to remove the kernel through 'dpkg (-r / -P) [kernel image .deb 
name]' isn't doing anything either.  (I read the dpkg manpage and 
guessed at that part).

So I've googled ... I've read manpages ... I've R T'ed the effing M ... 
and I'm still wondering:

 - Is there a way through dpkg to clear out my damaged 2.4.29 kernel (w) 
any of its other wreckage (modules, etc).

or

 - Where on the filesystem do I need to go through to manually remove 
the flipping thing?  (The kernel image, the modules directory, the 
entries in GRUB, etc.)?

Thanks!
