Okay, I found out what the problem is. I tested from Vector, but it still crashed. It seems that I have a misunderstanding. When running Config script, I thought that if I chose not to auto-configure the kernel, then I could just copy my kernel .config file as-is to config/puppy220/ and rename it to linux.cfg. I did this before running Config, and as soon as the script gets to the part where it reads linux.cfg, it crashes. Earlier on, when I perused the various kernel config scripts, I thought I saw code that just copied linux.cfg as-is to .config before running make -- in the case of no kernel auto-config. However, it seems that I am mistaken? Which raises the question, if I want to use my own .config file as-is, how do I do that? Also, if I have my own pre-patched kernel source and don't want to apply T2's kernel patches, do I just remove the .patch files out of package/base/linux26?
