[Voyage-linux] unstable kernel config / build problem

[Kim-man "Punky" TSE]

Bill and Nick,

You may try out the experimental kernel at:
    http://alpha.voyage.hk/contrib/punkytse/test-kernel/

This is the latest ubuntu kernel that will be very close to dapper 
release on June.  I also added serial_cs.ko module in this kerenl.

Regards,
Punky
