Well, I know how to do it on SuSE, but I'll have to hit the wiki for the Arch
way. With SuSE it was just:
cd /usr/src/linux
make mrproper
make cloneconfig > /dev/null 2>&1
<edit the config as needed>
make modules_prepare
make clean
I'll report back after I figure it out... and hopefully I'll have the next
fatal error in hand :p
