HP formally only tests the original kernels delivered with the OS. You should just try it if you no longer need formal support from HP. Nearly all of the folks I know doing 2.6 linux kernel developement are either using RHEL 3.0, a future release of SLES, or (most likely) Debian. > 2. nfs-utils currently installed is version 0.3.3. the minimum requirement > for 2.6.6 is 1.0.5, but i was told from the system management guy that > installing 1.0.5 might cause serious problems... is it true? Can you post details? Sorry - since I run debian "testing" release, I'm not exposed to this kind of problems. I expect the RHEL update service would avoid them too. But one wouldn't get a 2.6 kernel yet with that either. > 3. i got the link error when i build the kernel > > bash-2.05$ make CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/gcc-3.3.3/usr/local/bin/ Can you add "V=1" parameter so we can see the commands? thanks, grant
