Subject: [PATCH] alpha: fix ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS and default to no
Date: Fri, 29 Oct 2010 00:22:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101029042257.GA5886@Sempron.nc.rr.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1865 bytes --]
Kconfig.debug had ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS twice, which seemed to mess
the whole thing up so that the only way that you could unselect
it was to set ALPHA_GENERIC. That is to say, setting ALPHA_TITAN
actually prevented unsetting ALPHA_LEGACY_START_ADDRESS, which is
necessary for Titan systems. WTF.
Also, in my two and a half years of doing alpha stuff, I've only known
one person to use MILO and this was on a 164UX where he had no option,
and the kernel has been broken on this board since 2.6.23 anyway. So,
even with as few Marvel/Titan systems as there are, there are fewer MILO
users.
This does mean that people who use MILO (do you still exist?) will have
to make sure to set this option. If you're using <aboot-0.7 then I have
no sympathy for you.
