A PCRE internal error occured. This might be caused by a faulty plugin

The kernel I am focused on in this Wiki is 2.6.27.7. \\ **In regard to network booting, any 2.6 kernel should technically work. Some where in the build chain of the 2.6 kernel there were some format changes.** \\ **If you go low enough in the 2.6 build chain, you may experience some problems.** I will do my best to get more exact information on this issue as time goes on.\\ \\ Obtain the kernel source code from [[http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/]]\\ \\ The whole idea behind this kernel, is **supposed** to be small and mostly **modular**. Remember, you are along for a learning ride, so until further notice, these kernel configs will lack any real modular taste and be anything but small.\\ \\
