Nick, Adding those CONFIG_ entries to the end of linux-smp-vm.config might work, if not the [astlinux-devel] method is to: ---- cd output/build/linux-custom/
cp ../../../project/astlinux/genx86_64/linux-smp-vm.config .config ARCH=x86_64 make menuconfig (you don't ARCH if you are using a x86_64 build system) Make kernel config changes accordingly, and exit and save. See what has changed diff -u ../../../project/astlinux/genx86_64/linux-smp-vm.config .config Looks good, save it cp .config ../../../project/astlinux/genx86_64/linux-smp-vm.config cd ../../../ (clean rebuild) rm -rf output cp x86_64-configs/astlinux-ast11.config .config (or ast13 if you wish) sed -i 's/linux-smp.config/linux-smp-vm.config/' .config ./scripts/build genx86_64-vm ---- Let us know your progress.
