thanks for the answer.

1, when i type in `make linux26-menuconfig', an error i got:

[ -f /home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config
] || cp  /home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config
cp: missing destination file operand after
`/home/src/buildroot/project_build_arm/M501/linux-2.6.22.10/.config'

it seems it still need a .config under the linux-2.6.22.10 directory.

2, my M501 is an ARM 922T, if buildroot did not provide a default
kernel configuration for it, where can i get a similar one as a good
startup?

thanks.
