Do a 'make | common_defconfig' and then from there turn off stuff you don't need. um, yes. but the target "common_defconfig" was disabled somewhere in 2.5, so my shini script broke. i wanted to do common_defconfig first, then always keep my .config and do "oldconfig" after patching, but somehow my script broke, so i went with "allnoconfig"...but ok, i'll try again. if anyone is interested: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/build/ all the logfiles produced when patchin/compiling 2.5.21 up to 2.5.75. right here the latest 2.4-benh and 2.6-benh kernels (via rsync), also compiled via crosscompile: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/sheep/latest-kernel/ thanks, Christian. - -- BOFH excuse #212: Of course it doesn't work.
