Yes, the kernel has default configs for several machines in arch/ppc/configs You can either cp that to .config and do make oldconfig, or, with 2.6 do make pmac_defconfig (or with 2.4, make pmac_config) > I just read some posts on this list -- pmac_defconfig creates a default > configuration for a machine, correct?

I don't think the defconfig is specific to ppc, though we do have a very broad range of different machines to deal with, unlike x86. > Btw. I found at least one kernel help text a little confusing.
