how do I get out of the (END) without killing my kernel?

NotaPhish

I'm building my kernel now (gaming-sources) and it's going step-by-step. After I hit 'n' for DRI support the screen came up with a little help screen. At the bottom it says (END) in highlighted text.
How do I proceed with my kernel creation after this.

The only reason I ask is that I lost my kernel by pressing the wrong button the last time I tried this.

What are you talking about here? Using menuconfig?

yes, I did the menuconfig.
But... when I go to make the kernel, I have to go back through and pick each module one-by-one.
It didn't use to do this, but I'm not too bothered by it, .... now I open up 2 terminals so I can read the help through menuconfig, and then type (y,n,m,?) for each question on the kernel.

The first time I wasn't able to make directly from the menuconfig, I made the mistake of pressing '?', which brought up the help for that kernel option. This lead me to a screen with the module help displayed in the console, and instead of having "compile kernel with xxx support (Y,n,m,?)" it had (END) highlighted at the bottom.

I pressed enter to get back to my kernel making process, but it just beeped at me. I pressed every button untill I found one that exited me out of the kernel make program completely.... (and this was at the end of the kernel, a bummer to say the least)

So, now I'm back to the screen with (END) highlighted, but not from pressing '?', and I want to know what key to press to get me back to making the kernel.

Are you sure you are using menuconfig? Sounds like the CLI config to me... menuconfig has a nice ncurses based setup...

This is weird. Sounds like your not saving your .config from menuconfig properly.

without completely reinstalling (formatting and such), how can I delete my old kernel, and get a new one going?... the menuconfig use to work.

You can reset the kernel to its native state by doing a
