Building a kernel for Bering is just like compiling a kernel
for any other linux distribution[1].  If you want the kernel
to behave like (or be "module compatible" with), Jacques'
standard Bering distributions, you will need to apply the same
kernel patches[2] as Jacques and use the same configuration[3].

The README files in the patch directories provide brief
directions for applying the patches.  There is also a mostly
working script for building a "stock" RC3 kernel at

  http://fritzfam.com/brad/leaftmp/make_bering_kernel

As-is the script doesn't apply the freeswan patches, but if you
need freeswan support, you should be able to easily modify it
to fix that bug.

Probably a simple typo, but just to be sure...

A Bering "image" is very different than a Bering "kernel".
"Image" is somewhat generic, but usually refers to an image of
a filesystem that can be written directly to boot media.  It
includes the kernel, packages, and a few configuration files.

Hope the comments above help get you started.  Let us know if
you have specific follow-up questions.
