Hmmm. There is no reason for them to disappear. I'll give it a whirl
tonight when I get home.

When you do the menuconfig command inside the linux-2.6.18gum dir are you doing:

make ARCH=arm menuconfig

Oh wait a minute - are you doing the make from within the linux
directory? I normally do the following from the gumstix-buildroot
directory

rm buildroot_arm_nofpu/linux-2.6.18gum/arch/arm/boot/compressed/vmlinux
make

Doing the rm will cause the top-level make to run make on the kernel
with all of the appropriate command line options.

The modules.dep and modules.symbols probably need to be updated as
well. depmod normally does this automatically, but if the modules are
missing it won't.
