Hi,
I am using debian unstable 64. Recently I wanted to compile a 2.6.34 kernel.
Well, the source package is 64MB. Before `make-kpkg linux-image
linux-headers --initrd` finished, the source directory took 6GB space,
made the volume full.
Tried a few times, the problem is still there, and always the same.
What should I do? Thanks.

Where did you take your ".config" from? Normally if you did not take
anything, it tries to take the running kernels configuration. The default
configuration of debian contains nearly all supported hardware. You only
require a very few portion of that tailored for your hardware. So use
menuconfig/xconfig etc and fine tune the configuration before building.

Magicloud Magiclouds? That can't be your real name!
Can't you give us your real name? At least a first name?

That is not the correct command syntax. I suggest that you read

http://www.wowway.com/~zlinuxman/Kernel.htm

Kernel building in Debian is a complex task fraught with many perils,
and this web page will help you avoid most of them. It's long and
detailed, but if you follow this procedure you should do well.

Looks like an excellent guide. Thanks for the work!

You're welcome. The Debian kernel team doesn't particularly care for it,
and if you you read it all the way through, particularly step 10,
you can probably guess why. But Manoj Srivastava, author and maintainer
of kernel-package, liked it well enough to include an earlier version
of this web page in kernel-package itself. The above link, however,
will always be the most current and up-to-date version of the document.
I will probably update it again next week if the fix for Debian bug number
505609 is included in the stable point release for Lenny which is
scheduled for this weekend.
