2.6.2-mm1 won't compile (been doing this since 2.6.1-mm2 or so)

[Robert F Merrill]

When I upgraded to 2.6.1-mm4, I did the usual thing, copied my old 
.config from 2.6.1-mm1 and did make oldconfig.

However, when I run make, this happens:

include/asm/processor.h:68: error: `CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT' 
undeclared here (not in a function)
include/asm/processor.h:68: error: requested alignment is not a constant
make[1]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s] Error 1


The only way I've found to fix this is to add a manual #define for this 
symbol to autoconf.h

The config option IS in i386/defconfig, but for some reason doesn't get 
put into .config

if I add it to .config manually, it gets removed when I run make (?!?).

I don't think this happens if I delete .config and make one from scratch.

It seems when you did "make oldconfig" you said "no" to all cpu options.

You should select the cpu type(s) you want to run your kernel on.

Run "make menuconfig" and select the appropriate cpu types in
  Processor type and features
    Processor support

Hm... how did that happen?

During "make oldconfig" you saw

  Select all processors your kernel should support


After this, you were prompted for every single supported cpu type.

It seems you said "no" to all cpu types including the one your computer 
has?
