I'm not sure if I did my make menuconfig right. What should the config file name be after running this?
When I run make zImage, I end up getting all the prompts that I answered when I created the config. What am I doing wrong here?

Hrmmm...there should be several hidden ".config" files thrown throughout your kernel source tree. When you exited menuconfig did you make sure you saved the changes? Did you do "make deps" after the menuconfig? <Stupid Question> Are you root when you run make menuconfig? </Stupid Question>. "Make deps" is a vital step in the compilation, and you cannot go straight to make zImage (and as a side note, unless you have a very strage setup, "make bzImage" should be what you want).

Thanks for the info. I'll try all. I was root, but I think the thing I did possibly wrong was at the end of menuconfig, I entered the alternative filename instead of just exiting first? Does that sound like the problem. Sure, I'll try bzimage instead of zImage. I didn't do a ls -a so I'll have to try and see of the .config's are there.
