Sorry, I was not clear. The procedure was actually I type "make
ARCH=arm menuconfig" first, then I could not find the CONFIG_ISA,
CONFIG_NET_SPI and CONFIG_CS89x0 on config screen, this is still
puzzles me why could "make menuconfig" displays all possible
configurations on 2.6.22? Could you please explain?

Because I was not able to add CONFIG_ISA, CONFIG_NET_SPI and
CONFIG_CS89x0 from "make menuconfig", I used vim to manually added
those and then "make oldconfig".

Yes, I did double-check with the .config file, all three are =y.

Thanks Randy.
