Agreed. <snip> > Looking at my Atom board (hardy installed), the generic kernel package > is linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic, version 2.6.24-23.48.

You can find it here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/hardy/dists/hardy/base/source/ You can probably get it with "apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-16-rtai", if you have our repo in apt/sources.lst > It seems like either of those would be a good starting point.

Right, but our package does things a bit differently. (the Ubuntu way..) Eric: let me know if you want to build an Ubuntu kernel deb, I'll try to write some instructions. The best would be to drop by on IRC, and we'll sort it out together.
