Do it step-by-step. git checkout v2.6.15 make oldconfig git checkout v2.6.16 make oldconfig ... >and the distros' stock kernel are utter and total crap I can recommend that you try another distribution then. >that load drivers in wrong order etc., What specific modules and which order do you need for the disks? There is also kernel-side loading order coming up: http://lwn.net/Articles/260856/ >and are difficult to configure I do not really have to configure anything on my machine. Then again, yours might be vastly different. I can seamlessy switch distro and self-built kernels, with the only extra that I have to call mkinitrd (on opensuse that works without arguments even) for the self-built one. >(demanding crap that demands udev to edit their initrds). mkinitrd should take care of that. -- 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/
