Try this mini-HOWTO: http://wiki.trick.ca/linux-ha/DRBD_2fHowTo_2fPackageForDebian But be aware, 2.6.6 needed nearly 3 hours to compile on my Celeron 600, 2.4 needs only 1 hour. It is not necessary to compile the kernel, if you install the matching kernel-source. You can compile the modules seperately with make-kpkg modules_image but you should understand the steps before. > So I have problems to test > this part.

My version of drbd/debian/ compiles the module, but fails to install it. As the debian 2.6.6 kernel does not compile in my environment as it should (missing some links), I will set up a fresh sarge with vanilla 2.6.6, to be sure, if I misconfigured something, or if debian kernel-source has a bug. But I have not enough time this week. > http://www.pci.uni-heidelberg.de/tc/usr/bernd/downloads/drbd/debian.tar.gz > David and all other debian users, could you please test it and what do you > think about including it? Including a half working /debian in drbd-CVS would be better, than having a non working. Sometimes next week I hopefully will have more time and try your version, merge it with mine etc. But if David provides a working one before, I will test his version, as I am totally unexperienced in packaging.
