Very general guide to compiling:
Pull from Ingo Molnar's git tip and jeremy's patches. Following the
order of patches contained in the 'series' file, first apply the x86
patches and then the xen patches.

Steven,

Thank you for taking the time to write all of this down and post it to the list. I have a few questions on how to compile a newer kernel with the patches.

I have never used git so when you say "Pull from Ingo Molnar's git tip" are you talking about this:

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/  and the x86.git and the tip.git?

Also, should I be doing this with the RC for .28 or should I use a vanilla .27?

As for Jeremy's patches from "series" are we talking about these patches:

--- a/series    Tue Nov 18 16:53:19 2008 -0800
+++ b/series    Wed Nov 19 10:46:10 2008 +0000
