Compiling a kernel isn't that easy !The second attempt with 2.6.35.9 failed too
I tried out of couriousity make allyesconfig and allmodconfig : 900 -1100 MB of drivers.
On the 1 GHz machine it took more than a half day !
Also to remember to get the aufs directory and the entries into the special makefiles ..!
Kernel 2.6.36 has got aufs already in the fs directory but it seems one has to go to the archive to find it at the moment.
I am not able to use the kernel because two of my HD exited ( I suspect too low temperatures)
One HD died while running make clean inside the linux-2.6.xx.xx directory. I was able to boot into another partition of that HD and fsck messed a little. While examinig lost+found the HD stopped again. Sometimes the Bios recocnizes the HD and sometimes not.
Grub sees the slave as (hd0) but the kernel as sdb while the master is (hd1) at grub and the kernel says sda ( I thing it is because of the nearest joint )
I tried to boot into ram and was able to look inside and running grubinstall but while editing the menu.list at geany after one or two saves the disk had been 'ro'
This made me investigating grubinstall and I found some bugs that affect the install to fd, especially to fd1 . Also floppy-format.sh had to be adjusted. Its because my Bios sees the only fd at a single-end joint as fd1. I am investigating at the moment if it is possible to install grub to a just fdformat formatted floppydisk ( which seems not to work atm ) or if I have to run mkdosfs on the floppy, too , to make it bootable.
