Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > In order to compile a new kernel, you can use the kernel-package debian tool. It's the simplest way for a newbie. See the documentation of the package for more information, or follow the instructions in this page:
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/system/kernel-pkg.html So, my advise: 1. Come back to the previous state 2. apt-get install kernel-package 3. Read carefully the docs. 4. Compile the new kernel Good luck, LuiS.
