Hello I have a doubt about kernel compilation. Two days ago I compiled by hand 2.6.31.6 and it crashed during the boot process. The configuration was made by hand, starting from the default configuration and perhaps I missed something.
Since I had to restore my old slackware bakcup to recover some files and information, I got a copy of the already running (at slack) 2.6.31.6 kernel configuration that is finely tuned for my desktop... my question is: can I simply load such kernel configuration in the 'make xconfig' that is working (same desktop and cpu configuration) and compile it with debian? I mean, it is the same computer and hardware, the same kernel version, etc. More specific: Does Debian require a special kernel configuration due to its libraries/configuration or am I able just to load the kernel config and install it now on Debian? In theory it should work with any distribution, as far as I know it should match only the hardware...
