Linux Kernel on Development Board

Hello all, recently I was asked the following questions in an interview :

1) How will you proceed if the kernel source code that you downloaded does not support your board? What are the steps you will take?

2) Write all the directories in linux that will be visible to you on your system and the directories of your kernel source code that you have downloaded. Differentiate between both.

Anyone have got any idea ?

Bapan

All right. I found the query relevant to all the 4 threads. Anyway, there will be no such mistake in future. In case you find my query suited to one particular topic, you can keep it and delete the other 3. Thank you.
