Hi :) sorry for my late reply. Dunno. On Debian based distros I never had any trouble, but I compiled for the architecture of my machine only. I also tried to compile a kernel-rt for Suse 11.2 some days ago and it failed. It might be, that you need a command and additional libs, when compiling for another architecture, because of the modules, resp. for Suse it failed to compile a kernel even for my architecture. It might be, that Debian based distros support an idiot-proof way to compile a new kernel for the used machine and I always had good luck, that this idiot-proof way worked for my needs. Now, for Suse I noticed that there might be some things I don't know about kernel compiling ;). IIRC you asked because of a new module you need to use with a new kernel. Rui will send me instructions for Suse, maybe I get the needed know-how for Debian too. If so, I'll send you a copy of this email. Resume: Sometimes it's very easy to patch and compile a kernel and sometimes it isn't ;). Do you have any new information about building a kernel?
