Thanks for the thanks. We don't have a way to tweak the .config per test 
currently.
The .config is adjusted automagically for the machine type.
However, there is a workaround. The PLM supports chains of patches, so you
could do a short diff from -ck3 with only the switch changes, and that
can be applied to -ck3 (PLM #768) automagically by the PLM. 
If you aren't yet up on the PLM, i'd be glad to do the submitting if you
send me the diff.

kernel config

 CONFIG_SATA_AHCI

CONFIG_ATA_SFF: │

│ │
│ SFF is the legacy IDE interface that has been around since │

I recently configured and compiled the 2.6.35.1 kernel.
I suggest moving

to the CONFIG_SATA_AHCI option.

If you think this is a good idea, then you should try submitting a
patch for it. The file you want to modify is drivers/ata/Kconfig. It
should be pretty obvious what to change. There is lots of info online
about creating patches.

Kernel config

Hi,
I need to add extra kernel config for our tiogapass platform and I added extra configuration in tiogapass.cfg file under conf/machine. I am not seeing these getting added to kernel config file. Please suggest right place to add our platform specific extra kernel config options.

Regards
-Vijay

Hi Vijay

You can refer to
https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/tree/master/meta-ibm/meta-romulus/recipes-kernel/linux

The bbappend file tells us that the cfg file will be merged into the kernel
cfg

You can use devtool to generate these file :

devtool update-recipe  linux-aspeed -a
/home/xxxxxxx/openbmc/meta-facebook/meta-tiogapass
