Subject: FYI, ZX1 config problem in 2.4.23/2.4.24
Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2004 00:32:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200401061732.22576.bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> (raw)
When I changed the "HP-zx1" kernel config choice to just "HP",
I seem to have exposed an oddity in the way menuconfig works.
The menu contains this:
"generic CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC \
DIG-compliant CONFIG_IA64_DIG \
HP-simulator CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM \
HP CONFIG_IA64_HP_ZX1 \
SGI-SN2 CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN2" generic
and apparently when the user selects "HP", menuconfig turns on
the *simulator* symbol (CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM) instead of the HP_ZX1
symbol. I think this looks like a menuconfig bug, but the easiest
way around it is probably to use a patch like this:

One symptom of this problem are messages like this when linking
the kernel:
