Customize Linux Kernek for X31 under Ubuntu

First, we need to find a perfect kernel config file for IBM X31.
In this website: http://www.brixandersen.dk/papers/X31/X31.html, the author provide a perfect clean kernel config file.
And then we need to optimize our linux kernel. In this article:http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1174954&postcount=507 they tell you how to tweak your kernel, and remove all unnecessary components.

Note: please remember to select "Filesystem in Userspace support" if you want to mount the ntfs-3g file system

After you set up the perfect config file, it is time to build the kernel.
1. make-kpkg clean
2. make-kpkg -initrd --revision="anything you like" kernel_image
3. dpkg -i kernel-image-ooxx.deb
4. reboot


Done!!
