The error happens because config.mk checks for your kernel release and if it detects its you are using a kernel release <= 2.6.22 it'll stop and error out with that message. The problem is there is an oops (kernel crash) that will occur if you enable the compile to go through and use it. The error indicates to you that if you want to try to fix the issue you can remove the force check on config.mk. I used to support 2.6.22 but distributions have newer kernels so I rather focus attention on newer kernels as we move forward. This gives the opportunity for those developers interested in using 2.6.22 to go ahead and fix it if they wish. If you are a user I'd recommend to upgrade to at least 2.6.26. Luis
