Hello,

I try to build kernel from git source. Now n-th build try is
performing, each time it failed on wireless drivers - Atheros,
Marvel etc. Did I miss something?

Perhaps you should post your actual output from the build failure?

I dont have it right now, I disabled wireless at all and started
build.
The output to the console was make-kpkg ordinary message - saying
that
sub build finished with error code 2 AFAIR, it stopped each time on
wireless drivers.

Zonk! It seems that the problem is not only with wireless, now it
broke
here:

Opuszczenie katalogu `/usr/src/linus/linux-2.6-20100521-2044' is
"leaving directory", Błąd is error.

That still doesn't show the actual error/problem message...

Because there was no other messages, maybe Debian make-kpkg mutes them
some way. I can try tommorrow the classic linux way and test it. I
attach botching config.

I git-pulled and have run build with make-kpkg --verbose, again failed.
This is the tail of the output:


(snip)

I tried git8 from kernel.org and the make-kpkg build fails on iwlwifi.
I'll give up for today I think.

I gave it one more try and it failed again like in my first post yesterday:

zd1211rw is in wireless Zydas device driver, behaves like yesterday

I am giving up for a time being or may be someone will help me here.

not sure whats happening and/or how debian is
building the kernel, but can you try
make V=1 so there is more of a verbose message
on the screen of whats breaking.
