1. I'm a little confused now. You say in the first sentence not to mess with the kernel configuration but them you say to disable drivers in the 'make linux-menuconfig'. Isn't that messing with the kernel?
2. What is the 'clean ADI version'? Are you referring to bf537-stamp-defconfig because I'm not using an ADI evaluation product. I'm using my own custom hardware design with the BF537. Surely I can't use the ADI default configs?
3. After running 'make distclean' the 'make menuconfig' menu brings up some default settings(i386) to do with the processor. Surely these must be changed to Blackfin, bf537, FLAT, etc?
