Re: [Ltib] Forcing kernel rebuild

Pete,

How are you changing the kernel config? Are you doing it using LTIB, or are you 
doing it directly in the kernel build directory? You should use LTIB because it 
maintains a kernel configuration file in config/platform/<platformType>. That 
file ends up getting copied to the kernel build directory. If you make changes 
without using LTIB, the modified kernel config file will not get copied back to 
the LTIB config tree and you will effectively lose your changes.
