Ah, sorry, I forget the kernel.cfg problem.

Are you sure you carry out the right steps? Here a little recap:
1)
edit menu.sh and choose your target by uncommenting it, leave the others commented
2)
execute in the shell "./menu.sh all-clean"
3)
execute in the shell "./menu.sh createkernelcfg"
Some file gets installed, and you should find a proper configured kernel.cfg. Double check. It should replicate your target by means of two variables.
4)
execute in the shell "./menu.sh configure"
You should get a list of parameters.
5)
execute in the shell "./menu.sh all"
Compilation of files.

Let me know if you note something strange.
