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: === arch/ia64/config.in 1.31 vs edited ==--- 1.31/arch/ia64/config.in Thu Oct 16 15:56:24 2003 +++ edited/arch/ia64/config.in Tue Jan 6 17:29:22 2004 @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ choice 'IA-64 system type' \ "generic CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC \ DIG-compliant CONFIG_IA64_DIG \ - HP-simulator CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM \ + Ski-simulator CONFIG_IA64_HP_SIM \ HP CONFIG_IA64_HP_ZX1 \ SGI-SN2 CONFIG_IA64_SGI_SN2" generic One symptom of this problem are messages like this when linking the kernel: ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 105. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 94. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 114. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 103. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 522. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 109. ld: Dwarf Error: Line offset (1936617315) bigger than line size (200501). ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 115. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 4112. ld: Dwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 95. drivers/char/char.o: In function `to_utf8': drivers/char/char.o(.text.init+0x2e72): undefined reference to `probe_serial_acpi'
