I run it to make sure that any new configuration options are presented to me so I can set them before the build. Usually I take the defaults, but not always. Hmmm, your answer sort of makes sense, though the configuration file should only be for x86_64, why is it setting all those other arches? I put at the top x86_64, and the configuration files for the new build come directly from the tar.gz file. rpmbuild tells me it is building a kernel for x86_64, not any other arch. I used to run a make menuconfig after the oldconfig, and then save the config from there. But when the changes in 4.18 stopped, I stopped doing that. Would that make a difference? What's puzzling is that this whole process worked for the kernel on 7/15, no problem whatsoever. If I just wanted to build the Fedora kernel the way that Fedora does, I would use the koji binaries. No point in wasting the time and energy to do that. But there are *lots* of options and modules that I don't need, and the kernel is much smaller, which I think has advantages. I'll also look at harald's procedure to see if that makes a difference. Thanks for taking the time to look at this. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/EWC2WIRRUW5MU4VHLJPGVTFUSETMVBE6/
