[PlanetCCRMA] Kernel compilation

[Luis Garrido]

Hi all!

I am considering the possibility of building a custom kernel for my 
Planet/FC3.

I have a Pentium M laptop and I have obtained very good results in Windows 
XP of undervolting the CPU. Undervolting means running the CPU at a lower 
voltage than that recommended by the manufacturer which results in lower 
battery consumption and lower fan noise. On the other hand, the stability of 
the system may be compromised, so one'd better be careful and read a lot 
before trying it.

In Windows you have utilities like Centrino Hardware Control that allow to 
tweak the CPU on the spot. In Linux, the only way so far is to change the 
voltage/frequency tables at the kernel source and recompile the kernel :-(
