It's all working up to the point where I beed to run
make-kpkg --config=menuconfig ----append_to_version=prism54 kernel_image

What are the oprions I need to put in here?
append_to_version?
kernel_image?


I have apt-get kernel-source-2.6.0-test9


When I come to make the .deb do I need to add any other options to the 
kernal compile from the default?
How can I make sure that the the machine will boot once I have installed 
  the new kernel.deb?

Cheers
James
