Duplicated using kernel-source-2.4.18-19.8.0.
I never use 'make xconfig' normally, so I've never noticed before. I
usually just copy the config file I want, and then 'make config' if I'm
making modifications. Otherwise, I just 'make oldconfig'.
For what it's worth, my normal build process is:
make mrproper
cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config .config
make oldconfig (or make config)
make dep && make bzImage && make modules
make config (when no .config file exists) gets the right config file.
[root@paradox linux-2.4.18-19.8.0]# make config
rm -f include/asm
( cd include ; ln -sf asm-i386 asm)
/bin/sh scripts/Configure arch/i386/config.in
#
# Using defaults found in configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config
make menuconfig also gets it right:
/bin/sh scripts/Menuconfig arch/i386/config.in
Using defaults found in configs/kernel-2.4.18-athlon.config
While make xconfig gets it wrong:
if [ -f configs/*-ERNTYPE.config ]; then \
conf=`echo configs/*-ERNELTYPE.config`; \
echo "set defaults \"\"" >> kconfig.tk; \
else \
echo "set defaults \"arch/i386/defconfig\"" >> kconfig.tk; \
fi
echo "set ARCH \"i386\"" >> kconfig.tk
cat tail.tk >> kconfig.tk
chmod 755 kconfig.tk
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.18-19.8.0/scripts'
wish -f scripts/kconfig.tk
Under processor type and features, I get:
Pentiumlll/Celeron Coppermine
Very strange.
