We encounter very strange delays here in a test application on different kernels. To debug it a bit better, we would like to - start the application, store results - build the next older kernel - install it - boot it - goto 1 (*) The problem is, that after changing the version, make all or make oldconfig prompt us to fillout some values, which is problematic, because we want to run it automatically. Is there a way to use a base config, that includes support for the hardware (ibm x3550 m2) and all the other values are adopted from default values? make defconfig && cat myconfig >> .config does not do the trick :-) Sincerly, Nico (*): This is so far already automated, have a look at http://git.schottelius.org/?p=3Dnsbin;a=3Dcommit;h=3D31461434cbda96bfb71c= 741c9510b1d92dcbb161 --=20 Currently moving *.schottelius.org to http://www.nico.schottelius.org/ ...
