kernel 2.6.1
mobrien_12:
I downloaded the linux 2.6.1 tarball from www.kernel.org... and I'm dissapointed.
I followed all the instructions and updated modutils, etc. I checked the gpg signature of the kernel source.
First off, I noticed that the complete abscence of USB choices from the kernel config. After I finished a successful compile, sure enough there were no USB kernel modules :(
Sources for two modules would not compile... they were for drivers that I didn't need, so I took them out of the config file, but I'm suprised anything made it into a release kernel, especially a bugfix release kernel, that wouldn't compile.
After booting, most of the kernel modules refused to load... some (like ipchains) would load if I manually modprobed them but others, like my NIC module, wouldn't work at all.
Anyone get this kernel working?

It is 2.6.1.. I wouldn't have expected much. :(
Master of Reality:
did you already have 2.6.0 running?

I have and I must say it's very good. I like all the new options, and my USB camera didn't have drivers anyway, and I run 2.4 on my router and 2.6.1 here, so I don't have ipchains on here
