My impression was that the user did not complain about the fact that the kernel he was trying to build would not boot on any platform, but rather that the kernel tried to build a zImage that was not defined, resulting in a build error. Obviously, any configuration that can be selected by the user should be able to compile and link without errors, even if it's not particularly useful. Aside from the multiplatform enabling patches, are you happy with the patches 1-8 from my fourth version of the patch set? Arnd <><
