After cloning greg kroah hartman's repository from the tutorial , I am
not able to boot into any kernel by default and have to choose from
advanced ubuntu options from the grub menu . In the advanced ubuntu
options I see generic kernels ,and one rc3+ kernel . I think that's
the one I need to boot in . Am I wrong ? Also when I am trying to boot
in the rc3+ kernel my computer gets stuck and I am unable to boot .
What do I do ? Please help me .
