Re: Problem with compiling kernel



I just changed:
1. Processor type and features -> Paravirtualization support
(EXPERIMENTAL) OFF
2. Processor type and features -> Timer frequency (1000 HZ)
3. Processor type and features -> Preemption Model (Preemptible Kernel
(Low-Latency Desktop))
4. Device Drivers -> Graphics support -> Logo configuration -> Bootup
logo ON
5. Kernel hacking -> Show timing information on printks ON

And the reasons:
1. This eliminates problems with nvidia drivers, which won't compile
without this change on some architectures.
2. Makes the system more responsive
3. Makes the system more responsive
4. Gives me the duck at boot time ;-)


a duck?
Wow, what a hack!! ;-)

Me too compile kernels as root and really would like to know why it is
considered such a bad habit.
