How do you compile the kernel? I'm not accustomed to using distro-specific targets for compiling a kernel so I basically take suggestions from others for the best way to compile an XO kernel. I considered using vanilla kernel build techniques, but I wasn't sure if these would be incompatible with the way the XO kernel should be built. Is there anything I can do to help further diagnose the reason the 2.6.26-rc2 kernel won't boot?
