    Post How to compile the 2.6.19 kernel from kernel.org

    This thread has been replaced by the master kernel thread.
    The master kernel thread was written by me, under my new name.

    Re: How to compile the 2.6.17 kernel from kernel.org

    Im following your guide now Compling as I type.

    I didn't see these options however:

    Activate:

    -Preemption Model
    --Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)

    -High Memory Support
    --off -if you have less than 1 GB of RAM
    --1GB Low Memory Support -if you have 1GB of RAM
    --4GB -if you have more than 1GB of RAM

    -Timer frequency
    --1000 Hz
    Hope it doesn't matter too much. I have an AMD 3800 and 2 GB of RAM.

    OK problem.

    I cant get X to load. Tried to use my xorg.conf.backup and apt-got the fglrx-kernel-source.

    What next?

    If you have an Nvidia graphics card you have to reinstall the drivers for it.
    Backup your xorg.conf and reinstall the drivers for you graphics card.
