Thank you for taking the time to answer the message,

If you mean by "backsig" try to follow the instruction on the suggested 
subkey-cross-certify.html page then i tried to do this (see previous 
message)

I got the following error
gpg: secret key parts are not available

I tried searching the internet but found no solutions only this:
https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue673

The question now is, how can i backsig my old keys with my smartcard 
system to solve the cross-certification workaround?

Thanks in advance,

Jelle
