What is there to do with asm stuff? checking for asm/mach-default...** error include/asm/mach-default directory could not be found you probably need to configure your kernel, please read the FAQ about no include/asm/mach-default directory. ** compilation error I am running Slax Remix V6 check slax forum for more information.
