Having to recompile the Linux kernel?

Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, March 06 2013 @ 11:27 PM EST

Lucky you.
I've had to recompile mine to get a functional thinkpad_acpi module, to get my
wireless card working, and to get linux-phc undervolting to work.

Having to recompile the Linux kernel?

The last time I had to compile a kernel was when I built a LFS system, but that
was the point. VMPlayer requires you compile the modules to sidestep the GPL,
I think Nvidia did the same when I last tried one of their modules.

I recompiled my latest kernel yesterday ...

But then, I do run gentoo, I have to recompile everything :-)

Each to their own :-)

Cheers,

Been using Linux since 1999, and always roll my own kernel. Build in everything
I need, remove everything I don't. Lean and fast.

Recompiling isn't a problem, its a feature.
