Are there so many differences between machines? i thinked the only difference was in the kernel and input devices configuration files. > There's an RFC to have consistent (feature-wise) defconfigs for all > machines. h3900 & h4000 already joined the party.

See about defconfig consistency above. I will take a look at it, howewer to customize my kernel configuration is there a tool, bitbake config, etc, to submit a .config or to run make menuconfig before building the kernel?
