In general, kernel's don't need to integrate with anything, and no changes whatsoever should be necessary in userspace. The exception is when the kernel is too old to be compatible with our udev version. I build my own kernels, not via PKGBUILDs/pacman. They work fine and it's tidy too. Kernels keep to their own directories with the kernel itself a single file in /boot and modules in /lib/modules. James
