3.4.1 is the version. Where it dies (one of them), it looks like, is the make patched_kernel-stamp bit. The other thing i'm wondering is if it's a 2.6 kernel thing....the kernel it seems to want is 2.4 something. Is there a problem with 2.6 kernel and systemimager? I hadn't tried to download a "non-stable" release...is it a different codebase for x86_64 for 3.5.3? We're using gentoo because it seems more efficient and has the most mature and stable 64-bit environment of the major distros.
