Root [Boost Mobile] Kernel Source

I'm sure almost everyone knows that the ZTE Warp's kernel source can be found at source.

Anyways, I decided to download it and mess around, but my inexperience struck me down immanently. The source is split into 7 parts. Can someone explain how to merge them into something workable? Preferably a method compatible with Ubuntu 11.10.

Thank you
 
:D This is just what I needed! Many thanks!

edit: I'll post a new thread to a build stock kernel if I ever get it built (workin on it now!)
 
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

after making the kernal from source, and answering Y/N to EVERY SINGLE CONFIG question (over 100 at least), it decided to give me errors:

If anyone has experience in making custom kernels, I need help figuring what I did wrong @_@
If it wern't for that I could have shipped a custom kernal out but oh well. That was a first attempt that just didn't make it. Oh, and I will also remember to include swap partitions.

edit: I can post the .config if needed

edit 2: It is progress nonetheless :D
