Bug Description
From kernels 2.6.27-rc1, firmware can be built into the kernel. Some firmware blobs also can be installed in /lib/firmware.
Compiling own kernels presents this problem:
Unpacking linux-image-
Done.
dpkg: error processing ../linux-
trying to overwrite `/lib/firmware/
dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Changed in kernel-package (Ubuntu): | |
status: | New → Fix Released |

Compiling is fine. Installing the kernel with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" fails.
Workaround: Pain in the neck but only installing one custom kernel at a time.
