Since the later kernel-source packages don't exist in hamm I'm guessing
you need gcc (and friends) from slink to make this work. But I'm just
guessing.
2.0.34 works fine on our hamm boxes and I won't be upgrading kernels
until slink is released and we (eventually) upgrade our boxes to slink.
If you need features in 2.0.36 then you'll have to figure this out.

Ahh, grasshopper, you need someone more knowledgeable than I to explain
this. Manoj?
