To reconfigure the kernel with the current state of Gumstix's OE things, you will need gnome-terminal. Run this command: bitbake gumstix-kernel -c menuconfig
NOTE: You have to have ncurses and ncurses-dev installed in order for the MENUCONFIG to actually work.
The kernel config information is kept in
$OE_HOME/com.gumstix.collection/packages/linux/gumstix-kernel-2.6.XX/gumstix-custom-YYYYY/defconfig
where XX is the current default kernel version for your bitbake environment. That nugget is set in the
$OE_HOME/com.gumstix.collection/conf/machine/include/gumstix.inc file, under the PREFERRED_VERSION_gumstix-kernel
and YYYYY is usually one of connex/basix/verdex. That nugget comes from
$OE_HOME/build/conf/auto.conf
Once you've actually got the kernel setup you want, the following commands will rebuild and repackage the new kernel and create new images for you:
bitbake -c rebuild gumstix-kernel
bitbake -c rebuild task-base-gumstix
bitbake gumstix-basic-image
