[PROBLEM] Unable to boot Xbian after kernel recompile

[mk01]

indeed it is. but, people would need to use exactly your kernel.img and modules. but, xbian is providing kernal package as well as header package for development (own modules compile for instance).

if you compile the sources against distro packages, you could easily copy the .ko (or create a user .deb). but then with each update to kernel, it needs to be recompiled.

or even you can do dkms package, which will build on users installations automatically. even auto rebuild, if kernel changed.
