Hi Tomasz, I got one question.... I was successfully building custom 
kernels and Debian via debootstrap in the past, but something has 
changed in the project in last half year and I can't build all modules 
which I'm selecting in the config.

It doesn't have matter will I go to 
"build_dir/linux-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.28.10" and configure my kernel with 
"make ARCH=mips menuconfig" or I will do
"make kernel_menuconfig" with custom config stored in 
"target/linux/brcm47xx/config-2.6.28" ... as a result I always receive 
"build_dir/linux-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.28.10/.config" without some modules 
I selected.

It looks like "include/kernel-defaults.mk" is mixing values from main 
project's .config with "target/linux/brcm47xx/config-2.6.28" with 
prioritization of settings from first file.
Do you know any workaround for this? I was looking on forums and quite 
fresh buildroot documentation under http://nbd.name/openwrt.html and 
found only this:

"If you want, you can also modify the kernel config for the selected 
target system. simply run "make kernel_menuconfig" and the build system 
will unpack the kernel sources (if necessary), run menuconfig inside of 
the kernel tree, and then copy the kernel config to 
target/linux/<platform>/config so that it is preserved over "make clean" 
calls." ... but as I mentioned this gives me blended config.

This behaviour confirms following howto: 
http://www.debwrt.net/documentation/building-openwrt/

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
