The steps to rebuild completely from a clean set goes:

make clean

make linux_hwselect SYSPTF=insertyourptfhere.ptf

make

make linux

make image

The previous reply is correct that the PTF file needs to be in the kernel's base directory... in my case the linux-2.6.x directory.

In case you would like to know more about it, the Makfile that eventually gets called to do the actual work is in uClinux-dist-test/linux-2.6.x/arch/nios2nommu/

And the PERL scripts that it uses are in the scripts folder. The script that asks you the questions is hwselect.pl and the script that generates the nios2_system.h file are gen_nios2_system.h.pl.

Your answers to the questions are stored in the hardware.mk file.
