[Voyage-linux] compiling the kernel

[Punky Tse]

Alvaro,

I myself has tested voyage 0.6.2 sdk on VirtualBox 2.2.4, VMWare Server 
1.0.9 and Qemu 0.10 in my XP Pro Desktop without any issue.  Perhaps you 
are running VMWare, VBox under Linux or other VM guest or hardware 
configuration than mine?

Let me know what exactly voyage.update script complains on setp 6.  
Otherwise, it will not help troubleshooting your problem

Regards,
Punky
