Hi, by saying "non-default" i meant that i installed a newer kernel than the one that is shipped by default with the distribution from the Ubuntu kernel repository (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/). In my case i fetched the most recent 3.14 kernel at that time: 3.14.43.
I am running a Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.14.43-031443-generic x86_64). Ronny -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Fujinaka, Todd [mailto:todd.fujin...@intel.com] Gesendet: Samstag, 1.

We don't officially support Ubuntu at this point and the only support we have planned is compiling on LTS kernels. I would suggest sticking with kernels released as LTS. Also, Ubuntu didn't have kernel identifiers that we could use until 14.04.1, so you can't use the initially released 14.04LTS to compile our out-of-tree drivers.
