When you issue petalinux-config -c kernel/u-boot, you might see a corrupted menu config. This is due to the terminal you are using.

To resolve, export other terminals like screen, xterm, konsole, putty, or gnome, and retry. For example:

export TERM=screen
Note: You do not see this issue on Ubuntu 18.x host machines.
