I don't believe this is the right list for this type of question. You might get more help on ubuntu-users. As for your question, I haven't done this in forever, but I recently guided a friend in the right direction, so I'll try and point you the same way. There is a package called kernel-package. This contains a program named make-kpkg. It will build debs from the kernel source in a quick fashion. You can use upstream kernel source or Ubuntu kernel source. I would go with Ubuntu's. You can find it on packages.ubuntu.com. You will need the *.tar.gz, the *.dsc, and possibly a diff.gz. You should use dpkg-source on the dsc file to extract everything. The create your config and build your kernel with make-kpkg. You should then have a deb you can install. Of course the above instructions are incomplete and fraught with problems, so only do it if your willing to read the documentation. If you can live without hardware raid5, I would. I have been very happy with software raid5 under linux and never really had a problem with it. You may want to look in that direction. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
