I suspected that initially, but this is what confused me: $ make oldconfig > /dev/null && grep IA64_GENERIC .config && grep CONFIG_NUMA .config CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC=y # CONFIG_NUMA is not set However, I can set it by editing .config by hand, and oldconfig doesn't drop it, so I'm good to go. -- --------------------------- dann frazier Hewlett-Packard Linux and Open Source Lab dannf@hp.com
