whow, Ive spend I think 20 hours to build a kernel but it constantly 
fails.... :( :( :(

I tried everything with help from IRC and documentation, but different 
errors...

for example: http://pastebin.com/m5bc649d

I use a kernel for kernel.org and a rt-patch which fits it...
I patch the files as described in this howto:
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=17035&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I use: make oldconfig (skip the questions with ENTER) and then make xconfig
And set:
rocessor type and features> Preemption Mode (Complete Preemption 
(Real-Time))
Processor type and features>Timer frequency (1000 HZ)

Then:
$ make-kpkg clean ; export VER=$(date +'%Y%m%d') 
NAMEEXT="-$(hostname)-$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)"; make-kpkg 
--revision=$VER --append-to-version=$NAMEEXT --rootcmd fakeroot --initrd 
kernel_image kernel_headers

Can it fails because of the new kernel versions I try to build?
Or do I make errors in making the .config file?

This is my hardware, maybe someone can help me making the .config file 
or give me advice for editing xconfig?

thanks in advance and for the guys at this part of the world, sleep 
well, others have a good day!
