Here's an example: Physical address of main memory (PHYS_OFFSET) [] (NEW) aborted! Console input/output is redirected. Run 'make oldconfig' to update configuration. This needs someone to provide a value, which means these failures are not in fact failures of the kernel, but a failure of the build system to anticipate that there may be Kconfig questions that need input. So, these ones should be ignored. -- FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net.
