    Yea, you can use this guide for 2.6.17 to. Just make sure you get the ck1 for 2.6.17, and not 2.6.16.

    Thanks. Dont know how I could have missed that..

    I have another question even though it is not intirely related to the guide in this thread: Does the original Ubuntu kernel use a "monolithic" or "modular" design? (hope I spelled that correct).

    Thanks for the how-to. I just installed the new 2.6.17-kernel with your instructions. This seems to work just fine.

    Re: How To Compile the new 2.6.16 kernel from kernel.org

    When configuring the kernel: Is it generally a good idea to set hardware specific kernel support to "Y" rather than leave them as modules if you are sure about your own hardware?

    Hi,
    just wanted to let people know that 2.6.17 fixes problems with the cd drive not being able to mount.

    Re: How To Compile the new 2.6.16 kernel from kernel.org

    Did you try compiling the driver from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net and if so did you get an error? I successfully compiled and installed the ieee80211 package but when I tried to build the newest driver 1.0.5 it resulted in the following:

    Let me know if you get the same result when trying to compile that driver.

    Yes, you can boot from as many kernels that you leave installed on your system.

    It would be good policy to always have the latest "official" Ubuntu kernel installed, and then you may also want to have one previous (working) version of the CK kernel installed as well as the latest one you are currently playing with.

    If things go bad with a current kernel, simply reboot and select one of the known good ones you have in your list - and when you are satisfied that a kernel is stable (and performs as you require) then you can remove the previous version(s).
