Re: [expert] Making a new kernel?

[Charles Sellers]

I had a similar problem after installing 6.1.  I posted questions on
here, but had very little success.  Finally I just downloaded the latest
source from ftp.kernel.org, untarred it, and built it myself (doesn't
take long).  This worked, and now I don't have the problem.  Hope this
helps.
