    Maybe I asked you before but: do you use Ubuntu Hoary or Ubuntu Breezy?

    Hi!

    I'm using hoary...
    Well I managed to compile kernel, the problem was in irda... I removed that and everything is fine now... Well, not everything, but im getting there...

    So thank you very much for your time and patience, I think I learned a bit about compiling kernell so you time wasnt quite wasted...

    Thank you,
    Miha

    I admit that I don't know what can cause your problem BUT we can get around the problem.

    Open Terminal or Konsole and type:

    sudo nautilus (if you use GNOME)

    OR

    sudo konqueror (if you use KDE)

    Open the zipped file from nautilus or konqueror by clicking on it (it will run ark or some other application) and extract it (DON'T create any new folder otherwise you will have some double folder like /usr/src/linux-2.6.13.2/linux-2.6.13.2) to /usr/src.

    Then you can keep on following my guide.

    Tell me if it works

    I didnt follow what you were talking about but if you want to untar that and place it in /usr/src then just do:

    tar -xvjf linux-xxxx

    and then

    mv the_directory_created_when_untar /usr/src

    hope this helps you.

    If you need breezy kernel tree or something else:

    sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

    change the word "Hoary" (in the lines) to "Breezy"

    save and exit

    Open synaptic, reload and download ONLY what you need

    Then go back to the file and set everything back to "Hoary" so as not to screw your system up.

    Just asking because I have no idea about it.Is it secure what you say?

    I'm confused because some people says that it's not a good idea to mix things from different releases.

    If you install ONLY kernel tree (source+patches) it won't break your system. For this reason I recommended to set things back to "Hoary" after you get the kernel tree. In this way you can compile a new kernel from Breezy sources and you will also need GCC 3.4 (from Hoary repos). The only "problem" you can have is that you have (if you use nvidia drivers) to make the nvidia installer use GCC 3.4 (I've made a guide about that)

    BTW I installed a kernel image and headers from Breezy and I had no problems at all. The problems come when you try to install other things from Breezy repositories because there will be unmet dependencies.

    I hope this makes things a bit clearer
