But the EMBEDDED dependency is only on x86_64: arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/Kconfig: config X86_P4_CLOCKMOD tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation" select CPU_FREQ_TABLE help arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/Kconfig: config X86_P4_CLOCKMOD tristate "Intel Pentium 4 clock modulation" depends on EMBEDDED help And if the option is mostly useless, what is it good for? > Dmitry cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days. "Only a promise," Lao Er said. Pearl S. Buck - Dragon Seed
