Hi, William - I have no (current) interest in building my own kernel. I'm trying to do Dr. Molloy's tutorials because I want to learn about writing device drivers for Linux (you may recall an earlier discussion where you encouraged me to go this route in favor of doing bare-metal bit-banging). I'm just trying to get his program to work. I wasn't aware that I was doing anything in the kernel building area. (Still new to much of this stuff.)
