-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 It sounds like you may be using the debian sources, since you mentioned a package. I know that it's normal for what you describe to happen when you do oldconfig, and you don't have a .config file in the kernel source directory, I've never heard of that happening with menuconfig, unless this is a debian thing like you said. What I wanted to mention, in case you weren't aware of it, is that you don't have to use the debian sources to build a custom kernel using kernel-package if you don't want to. I personally use the standard sources from kernel.org. Greg On Mon, Aug 04, 2008 at 10:34:23PM -0400, Robert Spangler wrote: > Hello, > > Wow, this is odd!
