I have a fast x86_64 machine and a slow x86 machine. I'd like to use the fast x86_64 machine to build a custom kernel for the x86 machine. On the x86_64 machine: - In the kernel build tree, I copy configs/kernel-XXX-i686.config to my working .config file since I want the kernel built for that architecture - "make gconfig" to customize some kernel options - But while configuring I notice that all of the architecture options have been set to x86_64 choices (and x86 choices are unavailable) Clearly "make gconfig" has adjusted the original .config options to suit my build machine's x86_64 architecture. I still want to use "make gconfig" to customize kernel options, but how can I prevent it from changing the architecture automatically? Thanks for any help.
It might be worth trying: setarch i386 make gconfig Paul.
