Odd, it can work on all those yet fail on a relatively simple system. |
| 64 |
Makes one wonder. Maybe it is to complicated? Sort of starting to |
| 65 |
sound like udev isn't it? lol |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
I didn't say it would fail for the OP. I just said it never worked for |
| 68 |
me. Compiling my own has worked for me. I have only had one failure |
| 69 |
with that. I might also add, I have read where others have nightmares |
| 70 |
about genkernel. I'm not the only one. |

how you interpreted my words! |

Miss the compile output? Hint: |
