First Kernel Build - 25/02/2002 20:37

Hi
I thought it was about time I rolled my first empeg app. I downloaded the toolchain skeleton and built the toolchain as instructed.

I downloaded the 2.0b11 kernel source from Marks site and untarred it. When I go to build it, it prompts me with the standard config questions [CODE_EXPERIMENTAL], [LOADABLE_MODULES] etc which, for this environment, I don't know the answers to.

Can anyone confirm that the defaults are correct (they don't look like they are), or perhaps post a config file.

Cheers
PeterK

FWIW dev environment debian(woody)

Did you look in arch/arm/def-configs?
I think those configs are correct.

Copy arch/arm/def-configs/empeg-car2 to .config

Yep, arch/arm/def-configs/ is where a default config file for the Mark 1, and a seperate one for the Mark 2 lay.

Simply copy it to the root of the kernel directory as .config, and run "make oldconfig". Also, don't worry about running "make modules".

I posted a reply here earlier. I wonder what happened to it.....

Anyway, thanks for your responses. Kernel is built, now its time to test.
