Not sure if it's obvious, so just mentioning that KERNFAST could give you so=
me issues, depending on what you change between builds. Just keep it in mind=
 if you run into any kind of trouble, and try a fresh normal build.=20

Also, if it's module development you're looking at, you could recompile and u=
n/load just the module you're poking and prodding, sidestepping the kernel b=
uild entirely.=20
