Re: Can't compile an exact copy of kernel image.
Yes, I did. In fact, step 1 loaded /boot/config-2.2.19pre17 and saved it in
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.2.19pre17/.config. To be precise, doing this via make
xconfig only adds comment lines to the .config file. I checked it out carefully....
Thanks anyway...
