Free ppc linux configuation tool?

Free ppc linux configuation tool?

[listmember]

Sorry for duplicate posting, I forgot to specify a subject first time...

I am creating a linux .config file for an embedded PowerPC 405gp board.

Is there a menu driven free tool (console or X11 based) to assist me?

I read somewhere about Montavista Hardhat Linux Configuration Tool but I
am not sure if it is available free.

Regards,
Tolunay

make xconfig is what I use.  Email me if you'd like the .config file
generated, but keep in mind my board is proprietary so may be quite
different from yours.

OK. Problem solved. I had forgotton to set ARCH=ppc in the main makefile
:( This is very important step I missed because I am doing cross
development and native ARCH defaulted to i386. Thanks for everyone that
has responded.

Erm, make menuconfig at the base of your kernel tree?
Or were you looking for something else?  E.g. Embedix
(now out of business, I think) had a Windows-style
wizard interface, which as I recall was merely shellac
on make xconfig.

Well, I am trying to use the sources for kernel 2.4.23 downloaded at:

http://www.ppckernel.org/download/source/src-linuxppc_2_4.tar.bz2

When I do make menuconfig or make xconfig I did not get an PowerPC choice.
What am I doing wrong. I was in the process of creating the .config file
manually but that is a rather time consuming and error prone process. I
would like to configure most if not all settings by a tools if possile.

Did you look at the Makefile to make sure the ARCH is set correctly?
