Go to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ 2. Look for folder v2.6.34-lucid/ 3. Inside are the i386 & amd64 DEB files 4. First install the linux-headers...all.deb (same for i386 & amd64) 5. Next install the other linux-headers...i386.deb or amd64.deb 6. Finally, install the linux-image...i386.deb or amd64.deb 7. Worked like a charm for me... no hassles! Easier Method:

I followed the directions to a T and it compiled without issue. I then try and use the following file as a base for my config: http://openelec.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=openelec/openelec;a=tree;f=projects I copy and paste every line into the config.flavour.core2 file and run debian/rules editconfigs. I make adjustments to the processor turn off wireless and fix 10 issues that the config file doesn't like. Exit and Save. I then proceed to compile without issue or error. running the following command: no_dumpfile=true skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-core2 Once I go to install, Headers install file but the images reports: find: `/lib/modules/2.6.32-31-Core2/kernel/arch': No such file or directory Any clues as to why the modules are not being installed??? Hi,

I make adjustments to the processor turn off wireless and fix 10 issues that the config file doesn’t like. Exit and Save.

I then proceed to compile without issue or error.

running the following command:

no_dumpfile=true skipabi=true skipmodule=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-core2

Once I go to install, Headers install file but the images reports:
find: `/lib/modules/2.6.32-31-Core2/kernel/arch’: No such file or directory

Any clues as to why the modules are not being installed???

I also did not install it. What is it for, anyway? Never heard that compiling kernel would require this package. Not sure. I also did not install it. What is it for, anyway?

Everything went smoothly up until this came up: mv: cannot stat `/root/linux-2.6.32/debian/linux-image-2.6.32-25-duir/lib/modules/2.6.32-25-duir/modules.order': No such file or directory And yes, there is no such file. Would you care to comment on that? (the duir flavour is basicaly generic-pae with increased maxcpu to 32 (and a few other options) Hi. Everything went smoothly up until this came up:

Thanks! Do you have any advice for speeding up recompiling? It's taking me 3 hours to make a configuration change recompile and test. I'd like to speed that up a bit if I can. Another great article. Thanks!
