Bleeding Edge Kernel

anyone interested to play with super bleeding edge kernels try this:

# cd /usr/src
# git clone git://repo.or.cz/linux-2.6/zen-sources.git

depending on connection speed cloning will take some time
now
#cd /usr/src/zen-sources
#make xconfig
configure absolutely the latest kernel tricks (drivers, RCU, radix, VM management, I/O schedulers, CPU schedulers ACPI, ALSA and so on)
run make bzImage && make modules && make modules_install && make install

do not reboot yet!
if you have downloaded nvidia drivers run
sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-169.04-pkg1.run --kernel-name='kernel name' -K -N -s

where kernel name is listed in /lib/modules

hint: will have 'zen' in the name

reboot select zen kernel from grub menu and boot directly into GUI


updating zen sources is easy and take much less time
#cd /usr/src/zen-sources
#su -c 'git pull'
