[PlanetCCRMA] Rebuilding Kernel 2.6.10

[Saul Lethbridge]

Your comments hit the mark...I'm not interested in recompiling 
kernels...however I am interested in using Linux. I'm trying to install the 
driver for my Darla 20 (echo audio), which I have successfully done with the 
stock FC3 kernel. I've consulted the author of the driver who basically 
pushed the problems I'm experiencing back on the CCRMA kernel - see post 
above. So I was told to recompile the 2.6.10 kernel to see if the fixed the 
errors I'm experiencing. I've never had this much trouble compiling the 
driver in the past which is why I'm stuck!

Any help very much appreciated.
