From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Martin Wilck Date: Tue, 24 Jul 2001 17:48:04 +0000 Subject: [Linux-ia64] Kernel configuration Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Going through yet another kernel config iteration, I just wondered whether we should try to compile a list of ia64-compatible kernel config options. Itanium boxes will soon be available to a larger public, and anybody who tries to configure his own kernel will be confronted with the fact that many options in the current kernel result in compile-time or run-time errors. I would suggest that we: - compile a "positive list" that contains all drivers, file systems, ... known to work flawlessly with IA64. One might even want to distinguish between modules that compile and modules that are well-tested in running systems (I feel these are non-identical sets). - (perhaps) compile a "negative" list with "avoid this option on IA-64 at all costs" options. The results could then go into a file under "Documentation". Opinions? Martin -- Martin Wilck FSC EP PS DS1, Paderborn Tel. +49 5251 8 15113
