Re: Unofficial amd64 kernel images?
i just built one
2.6.14-rc4 no less
its faster than the 2.6.12 and i just used the 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8
config file (and hit enter for the rest)
alsa seems to know my sound card better.
however
eject, mount etc still all cause kernel oops
see dmesg i sent earlier today
