I don't know if you're like me, but I like building my kernel from
scratch. Here's a brief summary of how I go about it with Debian Sarge:
1. Install kernel-package, libncurses5-dev, gcc, cpp, binutils,
drbd0.7-module-source and drbd0.7-utils.
2. Get Linux 2.6 source from kernel.org.
3. Extract Linux kernel source and /usr/src/drbd0.7.tar.gz.
4. Configure your Linux kernel.
5. Build Debian package of custom-built kernel using the following
command from the directory where your Linux kernel sources are
# make-kpkg kernel_image
6. Build Debian package of modules using the following command from the
directory where your linux kernel sources are.
# make-kpkg modules_image
7. Install the two Debian packages (kernel image and DRBD modules).
8. Configure DRBD, Heartbeat, and whatever else you need.
Good luck!
