I have been trying to configure the kernel for my Lenovo 300 N100 machine. First I tried to use:
$make defconfig
but this doesn't work and there is a kernel panic when I boot with the new kernel.
What panic is it?
Then I used the configuration file that came with the Ubuntu distribution and it ran just fine, but the problem is that it takes TOO long to compile with that configuration.
What I want is a minimum configuration which runs the hardware on my machine.
I looked up "Linux Kernel in a Nutshell" and ran a script which looks through the hardware and shows only the modules I want to be using
That was a good script a long time ago, but please use 'make localmodconfig' based off of your working configuration file, which will be much faster to build. Hope this helps, greg k-h
