You do realize, you don't have to replace the stock kernel when you compile a new one. You can install multiple kernels and their support files are in /lib/modules in directories defined by the kernel name.My system has 3 kernels installed. The standard Arch kernel, the -ck kernel from AUR, and (Because you can take the boy away from Gentoo, but you can't take Gentoo out of t
i was able to Compile 2.6 kernel on the same hardware but after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04 Compilation causes the whole system to freeze and forces a hard reboot.

I have started reading the book Essential Linux Device Drivers. I am following the process for compiling and booting into a new kernel.
My grub files point to the kernel being in the boot menu which they are, however when GRUB is started the grub comes up properly but if you select any of the OS options it says it can't find the kernel, then it runs the ramdisk command and lets you choose to edit the grub or try the command line. The kernel is located where the grub says it should be. What is wrong?

On Saturday I ran online update, which included a kernel update (now 2.6.31.8-0.1.1 x86_64). Afterwards, I set out to recompile the VMWare module, as is always required, but it complained about not finding the kernel headers for the "desktop" kernel.
I normally do the kernel configuration on my machine like this -
copy the distro configuration file to the kernel dir
make menuconfig (answer Y's/N's/M's) Normally keep return key pressed
for default answers
then do the actual kernel compilation
Now, I know that this is not a clean way to do the kernel compilation
(although it has worked for me for thousands of times that I have
compiled an
I've got more of a basic question for you:
My linux kernel (I tried several here from stock 2.6, 3.2 and 3.5 as well as a custom 3.7.3 one) does not detect my synaptics touchpad - or I'am too dumb to find it.
