The problem with that, is that there is usually a reply to the announcement that is helpful before you compile it. Many times there is even a small patch (usually for pre or -ac kernels) that fixes some small oversight.
At the moment, if you want to run the latest kernel, you should be reading this list. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
