Please Close -2.6.28-rc8 Kernel Image and Headers.

[riot]

It's missing the Makefile_32.cpu file in /usr/src/.../arch/x86/. Stops there for compiling anything.

Yes it is. Blame kernel package - It's broken

I completed my latest test run of installing an Intrepid Minimal iso and building up from there. This time I just happened to try using ReiserFS. As you know your config doesn't support Reiser so I enabled it and compiled, also minus all the stuff in the Kernel Hacking section. Anyway, when I installed it I was able to compile madwifi no prob. Might be cause I have the kernel source tree on my system and not just the .deb headers. Anyway, thanks for the setup! I've definitely determined yours is the fastest to boot and most responsive after loadup I've found and I've tried quite a few. Even the Aspire kernel in Arch Linux. Now I just have to find a nice fast netbook-launcher friendly desktop environment.

2SICKBOY Tnx for your work. I've compiled my kernel with your .config, I've just added support for 3G usb modem (cdc_acm). Now I'm pretty nice ultra mobile aa1 user

Ooh, I was just about to ask about 3G usb modem support. Can you send/post your kernel?

I'll second that request. 3g support will make this little machine perfect.

I installed this kernel and nearly everything seems to work perfect. But the right SD card, which works with the kernel I upgraded from, isn't recognized now, even if the card is present when booting. Is there a solution for this?

BIG THANX to all involved in this kernel config research and compiling work...
I can confirm that this kernel seems to be working very nice on Linux Mint 6 (Ubuntu 8.10 based). Very nice and quick boot. Wireless worked like a charm (after the usual Ubuntu tweaks). I am very impressed and will follow this work closely!

Going off topic a bit.

How well did Mint 6 work for you out of the box on the AA1? I downloaded it and am thinking about installing it. Curious how much of the normal AA1 Ubuntu 8.10 tweaks needed to be done. What kind of boot time you getting with Mint and the new kernel from here?

It was the same as for Ubuntu 8.10 (following the same guide as when I tested Ubuntu 8.10, i.e. nor better nor worse than 8.10...). For me Mint is perfect as it has all the codecs etc. pre-installed...but I guess it is a matter of taste. However, I suggest that we start a new thread about this if you have more questions/comments on Mint 6....so, let's give this thread back to kernel-hacking...
