make oldconfig problem

Hi,

I'm trying to add some kernel features to the am335x_evm_defconfig. so when I try these cmds :

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- am335x_evm_android_defconfig
make oldconfig      or      make oldconfig ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi

I get a lot of weird question like one concerning the processor family and with no ARM entry as an 
answer.
In the other hand, when I try to enable the new kernel features that I want through the 
make menuconfig command, I get the same wierd questions when I run this command:
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- uImage

and it says 

scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
*
* Restart config...
*
*
* Linux/arm 3.2.0 Kernel Configuration
*

 So, I'm guessing that there some trick that I can't figure out.


I appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    I would recommend these steps to build the kernel and configure it:

     

    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- mrproper

    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- am335x_evm_android_defconfig

    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- menuconfig

    make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- uImage

     

    This should allow you to load the default configuration, configure it with menu config, and then build uImage.

    Regards,

    Dave
