Configuring and building an i686/K7 kernel on an x86_64 system.


How could I "force" make menuconfig to generate the structure for an i686/K7 config? Are there any flags I should use while invoking make to do this?

I thought of using a recycled .config I have for K7 and use make oldconfig to get around this, but I'd really like to use menuconfig, as it allows for better control (IMO), any ideas?

TIA!

Same options are available with menuconfig.

I found that I had to have a previous config for i386, and then would be able to run make oldconfig on it. I found that I could build just fine under x86_64 and the compiled kernel would run just fine on i386 machines.
