For the kernel build it's not important what packages you have got installed. Important is, that you keep the CPU type at x86 or x86_64 instead of optimizing it e.g. to amd64. It's also important that you don't fit the number of CPUs to your hardware, keep it at e.g. 512 instead of using 2. This issues, timer resolution, rt support etc. is set by the config file. Copy /boot/config-2.6.29-1-multimedia-amd64 to your source directory and rename it to .config, then load it when you run "# make menuconfig", if needed, IIRC I didn'd need to copy the config file. For the build you might need: fakeroot gcc kernel-package make libncurses5-dev Btw. the patch command has got a --dry-run option. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
