And how to build? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-2; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kbuild-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: To: linux-kbuild@vger.kernel.org Hello, I own quite strong PC, 4 core Pentium. I recently started to build my kernel frequently, whenever I see a new patch on kernel.org I build again. Bothers me that I do it only for doing it. Maybe it could be of some help to the community? And if so, what would be more appreciated - linux-next patched kernel or gitN patched kernel? And how should I configure the kernel for this purpose? I am afraid of putting all the options on, yesterday I tried to put everything on as a module plus I tinkered with some other options that seemed innocent. The kernel was built but could not boot, saying that there was a problem with the root device, it could not recoginze /dev/sda2, which is my correct root device. I did not investigate much and reverted to working kernel. Thanks in advance for your remarks. Regards, Piotr Hosowicz -- "Chcemy waszego dobra!" - powiedział lider socjaldemokratów.
