    Hi guys,

    Is there a good book available out there on how to
    compile a linux kernel successfully especially with
    the 2.6.x versions?

    We have compiled 2.4.x before in school which is fine.
    But apparently, I am having a hard time with the newer
    2.6.x versions with kernel panic error messages which
    could not boot the newly compiled kernel. I have no
    idea and experience on how to debug and analyze the
    error messages created by the kernel.

    I am afraid that this is due incorrect hardware
    selections or other not needed features for the kernel
    when I used menuconfig.

    I have also tried the howto's and followed the
    instructions carefully but still to no avail. Any
    ideas and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Sincerely,
    Servie
