I can test that pretty easy if you tell me how to do it.

One other thing I noticed was that a second make-kpkg produced a kernel
package with almost no modules, and a third make-kpkg had even less
modules and didn't actually do any building. I may have done something
wrong to trigger this but it also may be a bug.

Thanks

James
