Why would I want to build the kernel myself? I don't understand this propensity you seem to have, Don, for making things difficult/rococo.
Heck, even if wanted to build it myself I'd use the Build Service.
Which, but the way, is more than adequately documented on the web site.
Anton,
Sorry if I offended. The last time I was involved one built their own kernels by default, just to get all of the devices running. I assumed you had done that also, until I clicked on your link and saw the prebuilt RPMs. I was really trying to get an update on writing device drivers. In the past building the kernel was fundamental to that, though I see now that a new capability may allow a simpler path. The new version of Linux Device Drivers, 4th Edition is due out in October. I can wait.
