Configuring Kernel when building it with abs/aur

I've made a quick search but haven't found anything....
So I've decided to try the Kernel26-ck as I've seen good comments in a thread about it. So anyway PKG had this in it:

 # Configure the kernel. Replace the line below with one of your choice.
  make menuconfig # CLI menu for configuration
  #make xconfig # X-based configuration
  #make oldconfig # using old config from previous kernel version
  # ... or manually edit .config
  ####################
  # stop here
  # this is useful to configure the kernel
  #msg "Stopping build"
  #return 1
  ####################
  yes "" | make config
  # build!
  make bzImage modules || return 1

As you can see I've uncommented the menuconfig. I've then set which parts/modules I wish and which I don't. But now while building it I have a feeling it didn't use the config I specified with menuconfig...
Maybe it's just that I'm doing this for the first time and I can't recognise whether it uses my config or not...
But the part where it say "stop here" for configuring kernel confuses me...
Should I uncomment that as well so that the config could be done "in peace" or does the menuconfig pauses it already?
The additional thing that makes me doubt that I did this correctly is that it's taking quite some time (cca.: 3hours for now).
I won't end the compiling now, I just wish to know for next time...

Also: I heard that you have to "recompile" or reinstall a nvidia driver if you wish to use kernel26-ck. So which one should use? nvidia-beta doesn't work, so I'm going for nvidia-all...

PS.: Merry Christmas I guess...

Re: Configuring Kernel when building it with abs/aur

AFAIK, 'yes " " | make config' should be necessary

nvidia-all should work

BTW, a kernel26-ck is in the aur smile

Re: Configuring Kernel when building it with abs/aur

@some-guy94 - have a look at the arch-dev mailing list for dec of 2009.  Any day now.  If you want it now:

1) uncomment testing in your /etc/pacman.conf
2) pacman -Syy
3) pacman -S kernel26 (if you need the firmware package, nvidia, lirc, or the headers add them too)
4) comment out the testing archive in the pacman.conf and redo a pacman -Syy
5) reboot and enjoy

I've been using the 2.6.32.2 package since it entered testing and it's been great.

Yup, sure is! I'm the maintainer of it, and if you have any issues with the PKGBUILD I am completely open to submissions/criticism tongue

EDIT : with credit to you for any submissions, of course!

17:23 < ConSiGno> yeah baby I release the source code with your mom every night
17:24 < ConSiGno> you could call them nightly builds if you know what I mean

Re: Configuring Kernel when building it with abs/aur

Sorry, for this quick and slightly off-topic question: I thought Con Kolivas had discontinued his -ck patchset (http://ck.wikia.com/wiki/End_of_ck_patchset).

Is the -ck patchset still under active development?

Vortex375: Yeah, it's been started back up again. I heard about it from the "omg, Con Kolivas is back!" thread, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79398, post number 183.

Re: Configuring Kernel when building it with abs/aur

Thanks for the help. I'll take it in account next time I'll compile a kernel...

Also in kernel configuration you have the whole part of kernel just fro enycription. Do I need this part for normal desktop use?
I wasn't sure so I kept it, but I would like to know for the future compilation.
