I will try, but this is the first time I am going to compile a kernel so I can't guarantee I might even compile it successfully and provide you with debug info. As such I am mainly a desktop user with no proper tools to obtain debug info as of now. >> I am sorry, I am not familiar with how kernel development works and >> specifically how intermediate -stable kernels release is done. > > Not a problem, you can read about the process in the file in the kernel > source tree called Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt > > thanks, > > greg k-h > These might be interesting http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/2929.html?thread=52337#cmt52337 and http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/3244.html . They are written by the author of the patches, explaining the problem. Thanks.
