I resolved the issue like so: 1) Download kernel source (K) from kernel.org
2) move the archive to a place where source is, /home/user/linux for example (will have to do mkdir /home/user/linux first of course!) via mv /home/user/Desktop/archive /dest/archive 3) Extract the archive: if .tar.bz2: tar -jxvf archive.tar.bz2 else tar -zxvf archive.tar.gz 4) cd into resulting directory 5) do a sudo make defconfig, then sudo make xconfig (or if in terminal menuconfig) and customize options for system, filesystem and controller support must be built in! 6) do a sudo make 7) then sudo make modules_install 8) then sudo make install 9) then do a sudo update-initramfs -k kernelversion -c -v 10) then grub-update 11) reboot and enjoy! - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
