Re: make zImage - `objdump -k'

Sorry I can't help you with your objdump problem in particular. I
suspect that the addition of the sound support is causing the kernel
build scripts to make a bad call to objdump (although your point about your
old .config also failing IS befuddling). However, I would like to
suggest that instead of doing the traditional "make zImage" you try
installing the kernel-package module which contains the Debian kernel
build scripts. That way you can use "make-kpkg ..." and build a proper
Debian kernel module to install.

While you're at it, you might also want to download kernel 2.0.33 from
ftp.kernel.org or where ever. 2.0.33 will probably also fix your problem
with the kernel build, who knows.
