Re: [Xen-users] customized debian kernel ...

[Teratux <raespi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, Tim thanks for replying ... I'm interested in compiling a >= 2.6.28 
kernel since I'm using the newly introduced ext4 filesystem ... If 
there's no patch for the 2.6.28 kernel I can update to a 2.6.29 or a 
2.6.30 kernel ... I'll wait for your suggestions then ... Where and how 
can I start ?
Greetings ...
