Compiling Kernel

[larsenguitars]

Has anyone compiled a 2.6 kernel with Dazuko
I'm in way over my head here.

I have never compiled before, wouldn't know the first thing.

Apparently I have to;
1) remove 'capabilities' module
2) add 'dazuko.ko' module
3) add 'capabilities' back again

I have downloaded linux-source-2.6.22
I just don't know what to do with it.

Re: Compiling Kernel

I think you are going about it the wrong way.

Ubuntu (Debian) has had a long established way of adding on kernel modules. Look at the module-assistant package or the newer DKMS system. This should make it a lot easier and only require compiling the module you want.

If you have never compiled a full kernel before, be aware that if can sometimes be a pain, but of you know what you are doing, well worth it. I would practice in a virtual machine first.
