His words was "don't expect support here" - it implies that custom 
kernel ain't supported. It there's a different support channel for it, 
that's fine, but then he should have said so. I've recompiled kernels 
before, but that was at least 5 years ago, since then I got lazy (seeing 
that Linux has become easier), and this is the first time I needed it.
