Problem building 32 bit kernel on 64 bit system

Hello all,

I have a 64bit fedora 13 system and I need to build to a kernel for a 32 bit laptop. I'm following the instructions listed here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel (replacing the --target='uname -m' with --target=i686). I was able to do this for F8-F11 but I'm having some issues with F13 and the most recent kernel (2.6.33.5-112). After I copy the i686 config file to ".config", I run "make menuconfig". However, only the 64 bit processor options are available. How do I get the 32 processor options to appear?

Thanks.

I'm not certain this will actually work, but try 'linux32 make menuconfig'

man linux32 (or setarch) for more details on how this works.
