But this is not a problem by itself, because in the next step .config is copied from SOURCE which has the correct first line. Then the second time is when make menuconfig (or xconfig) is run as you noted. This is the problem. At this point, arch needs to be added back manually to .config as just you did. I really want to why menuconfig does not do it right. Akemi
