The problem in the last weeks was, that 2.4.0-final kernels where |
17 |
definately not stable and I way allways busy |
18 |
making new kernel-packages. |
19 |
The lates 2.4.0ac8 seems to be stable, so I will copy that to |
20 |
linux-sources. |
21 |
I presonally prefere the following method if I need a special kernel. |
22 |
First I run "ebuild kernel unpack", then I cd into |
23 |
/tmp/portage/linux....../work/linux and configure the kernel or I copy |
24 |
my private config and autoconf.h manually to the workdir. |
25 |
After that I continue with "ebuild kernel compile". |

Jerry can you send me modified .config and include/linux/autoconf.h |
28 |
version that include a usefull pcmcia-support? |
