Can you post a step-by-step how to? Thanks

The KernelCheck Hydra program did all the work for me. I just selected the Kamakize patch and followed the prompts. I have followed Master Kernels thread over the past few months and have made several kernels. I have also had several failures but that is the fun of it. Gutsy is so stable it is almost boring. (Haven't broke it in over a week)

Using Kernelcheck Beta and installed prepatch RC3

Works just fine....

Virtualbox refuses to build a new driver

Makefile:76: *** Error: /usr/src/linux (version 2.6.24-rc3) does not match the current kernel (version 2.6.24-rc3-greenhydra).  Stop.

Where comes "greenhydra" from... ?

Also is it possible to use more then 1 patch... prepatch and Kamikaze for example.

Thanks !

I tested the new version I just uploaded and it works fine.

You have to compile the restricted mods yourself. I hope to implement an auto-build of this by KC2.

It is, but I doubt I'll have that in by HYDRA on Dec. 1. I'll try to do that by 1.1.1 sometime around Christmas. I'm still having problems with the proprietary drivers and the mm patch.

How to build those?

BTW, a BIG thanks for kernelcheck. Just built myself 2.6.23.8

Hi. I have installed kernelcheck on kubuntu 7.10, but i couldn't get it to work.When i selected apply normal patch, reconfigure x server,nVidia option and pressed built latest kernel and pressed ok button but nothing happens.Console says:

Panic option passed, attempt safe halt...
Exiting.

Please help...

Even I had the same problem.. First select any of the options, other than normal patch (the recommended one) then select back the recommended one, then press build kernel. Then it will start.. And you dont have to press OK..
