You need to specify the sub architecture in your kernel config properly before compiling. i.e., After doing make menuconfig Specify "System Type ---> ARM system type" properly. After doing that depending on the subarch you may have to select an implementation. Apart from that you may also have to enable some processor features, type etc also. -- Kishore A K "Dream as if you'll live forever; Live as if you'll die today."
