Updated instructions for building kernel PPAs?

[Nigel Cunningham]

Hi again.

Thanks Andy for those instructions.

One more question, if I may:

Do I need to do something special for LPIA? I get a build failure,
resulting from there being no config files, as the following log extract
shows.

Regards,

Nigel
