Kernel Configuration

Does anyone know if you can use the configure.bat to configure a kernel for custom hardware? The list of hardware target platforms are very specific, and I don't know if you can use the tool to generate a kernel for my own hardware design. How do the device drivers get generated (addresses, irq, etc)? Does it get the information from the .ptf?

Thanks,

rppolicy

    I found hwselect.pl* in a plugins/scripts directory, but when I run it in a bash window, I get a "command not found" error. I am VERY new to Linux, so do I need to do something before I execute it? Please help.

    Thanks in advance,
