IMHO it doesn't make sense to introduce an option for a generic kernel, which then renders the generic kernel useless on all platforms other then yours. Please don't use generic, but setup a new platform for it. Hopefully we can get rid all of the weirdness in this patch. Thomas. -- Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a good idea. [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
