Re: 2.6.14-smp kernel headers and sources

Hi Lonnie,

On the sourceforge half of the openssi website, there's a mail list
archive.  I went through the whole process of building a kernel a
while ago.  John's answers about toolchain versions and such are in
there.  I was able to build a working kernel.    One warning though...
resist the urge to stick another suffix on the kernel/module lib such
as -patched.  ssi-ksync and that stuff isn't ready to deal with that.

I'd dig up the link for you but I'm still up from last night and am
very sleepy =)

Regards,
-scott
