I got it compiled. It is working on my workstation.
I hope I'll have a chance to try it on a box with that controller on
Tuesday.
Can anyone be so kind to point me to another RTFM where I can find
clear instruction on how to substitute the kernel into a Debian
ISO/cross prepare(sid -> squeeze) a Debian install ISO?
I tried it before, hybridizing 3.6.32 and .36 and it failed to
work... but I'm not sure if it failed because I didn't prepare well
the ISO or because the hybridized kernel didn't work.
thanks
