Interested. I *thought* what Dale's saying worked too. The no kernel config
error sounds more like you havent done make oldconfig/menuconfig whatever to
create the .config file. So maybe the problem is not that you have to be
running the kernel you want to build for, but that you have at least created
the .config file for the kernel you want to build for. I'm guessing
obviously.
