The questions that I have are: 1.) what kernel (custom vs. generic) is being used by those that seem to have gotten it working 2.) If you build a kernel _elsewhere_, does the K6 configuration run ok? I.e., if I build a kernel for an apache webserver using my K5 and then install that on a K6 system, will it work? (& how stable is it?) 3.) Does anybody have any clues as to what excatly is dieing in the "make world" process?
