Hello Dave,

So I have to do the kernelversion.xz extraction in linux OS and then build, right? I am extracting this in another OS, got the problem. Thank you very much.
 
Why would I get the following errors, though they would not stop the build process? Any help?

1> Where do I change the annotation of snd_hda_build_pcms?

WARNING: sound/pci/hda/built-in.o(.text+0x54bc5): Section mismatch in reference from the function azx_probe_continue() to the function .devinit.text:snd_hda_build_pcms()
The function azx_probe_continue() references
the function __devinit snd_hda_build_pcms().


This is often because azx_probe_continue lacks a __devinit 
annotation or the annotation of snd_hda_build_pcms is wrong.

OR

I am trying to build the Kernel 3.7 and there are some files which have to be overwritten when uncompressing. One of the same files, ipt_ECN.c, gives an error stopping the build process. Any suggestions?

net/ipv4/netfilter/ipt_ECN.c:20:42: fatal error: linux/netfilter_ipv4/ipt_ECN.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

There is an ipt_ecn.c file and an ipt_ECN.c file (which differ only by case), so it sounds like there was a case-insensitive file system involved somewhere in what you're doing.

Normal linux filesystems (like ext2/3/4) are case-sensitive, so these are 2 different files.
