SubjectKernel versions
From
Hello,

I have noticed that when compiling various kernel versions with same
.config file
(this is .config file from generic 2.6.27-7 kernel that works)
on same machine the results are unpredictable :) Sometimes machine just
shuts down during the compilation, and in most cases it won't boot. I am always
downloading kernel sources from official site and I think these are
stable versions.
For example, 2.6.27.7 , 2.6.27.21 etc.

I am compiling kernel and modules with:

make
make modules
make modules_install
make install

and then run in /boot folder

mkinitrd initrd.img-2.6.27.21 2.6.27.21

and modify /boot/grub/menu.lst

So, is there some convention or practice, to know which versions are
stable or do
different distribution have something to do with it ?

thanks,
