Yes, please do tell all. I have issues with the many ways to download the source and many ways to build the kernel. I've been following f'g howtos for a couple of weeks and still have issues building the damn kernel for Ubuntu. I've been able to compile the kernel and restricted modules but have many issues.
Should I use "git" to get the source or apt-get source ...? Which version of the kernel do we need? How do you get other versions? Once I have the source, I used "debian/rules" to make the image, but it uses the config files from debian/config/i386 (config and config.386) and NOT the .config file in the top level. The problem here is that the config files are extremely hard to edit (i.e. I can't use menuconfig or gconfig with debian/rules - or don't know how to). So this way works for me, but I lack the ability to configure the kernel well. It produces a " linux-image-2.6.22-14-386_2.6.22-14-i386.deb" file and I can then build the restricted modules OK. So, when I use menuconfig or gconfig and get a ".config" file, I have to use "make-dpkg" to make the kernel. Then I get a package called " linux-image-2.6.22.9-2.6.22-14.46_i386.deb". So I can install it, but then the restricted modules have issues with the ".9" 'cause ABI version seems to want a hyphen (i.e. it turns "14" into "-14". I have no idea where the ".9" comes from and somehow "-14.46" ends up in the f'g filename too. Anyhow, if anyone can give clear "build" instructions I'd be very grateful. R.
