I've added one for the 712 as an example. To use it, rather than typing "make defconfig", you type "make 712_defconfig". The Makefile looks in arch/parisc/configs/ for a file by that name and uses it if it finds it. So what configs should we support? This is one of those bikeshed kind of questions, so let me take a stab at it first: - 712 (Lasi, Wax, no PCI, no EISA. targetted at exactly 712, may work on other snake-type boxes) - hawk (adds ccio, eisa, PCI, ncr720, mux. targetted at A180, B, C, J, D, K, R) - music32 (SMP, PA8000, SBA PCI, no GSC, targetted at B1000-J6750) - 32bit (everything. should work on 705-J6750, including A180, EFGHI, B, C, J, D, K, R) - music64 (SMP, PA64, SBA PCI. targets A500, L2000, etc.) I don't want to add any more than this because the effort of maintaining all of them quickly adds up. Is everybody happy with these suggestions? Obviously, you can tweak your own config to your heart's content, these will just be the defconfigs distributed with the kernel. As far as naming goes, most of the boxes with ccio in them were some kind of hawk, most of the boxes with SBA in them were named after musical terms. I suppose for consistency the 712 config should be called gecko... Please, quibble about the names ;-) -- "It's not Hollywood.
