*** Updating the kernel configs *** - Copy the old Nix expression (e.g. linux-2.6.21.nix) to the new one (e.g. linux-2.6.22.nix) and update it. - Add an new attribute to all-packages.nix. For each platform (i686, x86-64, uml): - Make an svn copy from the old config (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp) to the new one (e.g. (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp). - Unpack the new kernel. - Copy the config file for this platform (e.g. config-2.6.22-i686-smp) to .config. - Run `make oldconfig', answer all questions. (For the uml configuration, add "ARCH=um SHELL=bash".) - Make sure that CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is NOT SET (otherwise fbsplash won't work). If it is, investigate why (there's probably another option that forces it to be on) and fix it. - Copy .config to the new config file (e.g. config-2.6.21-i686-smp).
