Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I just built a 2.6.22-git9 kernel, and when I run oldconfig it (a) sets the processor type to pentium-pro, and (b) the KVM stuff simply isn't in the config. Before I spend a lot of time on this, was it disabled temporarily for some reason, or is it a known bug, or ??? Processor is a Core2 E6600, and the starting config has KVM. Strong suggestion: put KVM in processor type and options, and if the CPU type selected supports the feature, let the builder turn it on in one place and have Kconfig turn on whatever voodoo is needed to allow it, rather than have people trying to find out what depends have changed with each release. I see KVm depends on X86_CMPXCHG64 which simply doesn't seem to be defined directly anywhere. Going back to 2.6.21.6 until whatever changed is at least documented. -- Bill Davidsen "We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked." - from Slashdot
