Hello,

what are you interested in? Building your own kernel or just getting it
into a usable state?

I have prepared some files and descriptions which should be useful to get
started:

I want to configure my own kernel. So how to configure my own kernel using
existing kernel to my s3c2440a board.

Hello venkat,
You could download latest tree of the git:
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git

then cd to the kernel source dir.

export CROSS_COMPILE=(compile toolchain name with stripe)
export CC=$CROSS_COMPILE"gcc"
export ARCH=arm

then:
mkdir build
make O=build mrproper
make O=build mini2440_defconfig
make O=build -j4
make O=build modules modules_install

You should then have a kernel.
But please look at these minimal bootstrap script:
