kernel 2.6.11.7 via modified PKGBUILD

hello.

when i compiling newest kernel-sources i have few errors. i cant do some of thing, for example 'make' (not allways) and Syslog-NG is [fail] at bootup

in 2.6.11.6 is everything ok, and i 2.6.12-rc2 too.
i use the same .config file

thanks

You used the same .config file for both kernels? You shouldn't do that, there are suttle differences enough to screw things up. Try redoing it with correct .conf file. Also, if your doing it through PKGBUILD it wont work only with the proper kernel version as their are specific patches for each.

Its quite safe to use the .config between the y (2.6.x.y) releases, take a look at the changelog, no new features or removals.

Even if you do use the same .config for a major x release, it wont hurt, the kernel picks pretty sane options for you for any differences
