I'm stack with very old kernel (2.6.37 for arm TI's DM365). No pre-built kernel , I've built the kernel as well, everything is working nice. But as I use embedded device, it would be nice to have the drivers build-in (performance). For some of modules I get message: "This feature depends on another which has been configured as a module. As a result, this feature will be built as a module.". I'll try to find the dependency, but is there any hint, how to search? Thanks a lot for backports, it helped me already :-). Kind regards, Petr
