Yes, that's what I've always done, in order to include the mactel
patchset.

Since I use Debian, I prefer to make a .deb using 'kernel-package':

	cd /usr/src/linux/
	make-kpkg --revision=$(date +'%Y%m%d') \
		  --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd kernel_image

Right. In "Bus Options (PCI etc.)", there's "Support mmconfig PCI config
space access" (CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG) indeed. I always had it activated,
as far as I know, but it doesn't do the trick.

The LKML thread seemed to point out the issue could be firmware-related.
Any more information on that? Any other mac users out there facing such
problems? Has anyone successfully booted a 2.6.26 and/or 2.6.27 kernel
on a MacBook2,1?

Cheers,
