Subject: [PATCH] add raw driver Kconfig entry for s390
Date: Sat, 13 May 2006 13:52:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060513115255.GA11955@suse.de> (raw)

From: Ihno Krumreich <ihno@suse.de>

The raw module is not enabled on s390/s390x
During SLES9 and SLES10 development IBM filed bugs about the missing raw
driver. Avoid that for SLES11 by adding it to the other char driver
entries.
