| |
Hi folks,
Installing 2.6.0 I've found that some kernel options directives are wrong, in fact the option turns out to be always enabled. I don't think this is a desired behaviour.
Sorry for the format, yes I know it's ugly :) but I'll leave to you the proper solution :) so I can't make a proper patch.
- IPV6_SCTP___ option is always turned on
./net/sctp/Kconfig:
8: config IPV6_SCTP__ 9: tristate 10: default y if IPV6=n 11: default IPV6 if IPV6 12: 13: config IP_SCTP 14: tristate "The SCTP Protocol (EXPERIMENTAL)" 15: depends on IPV6_SCTP__
I think something is wrong here, why the 'default y if IPV6=n' ???
- INPUT_MOUSEDEV option is always turned on
./drivers/input/Kconfig:
27: config INPUT_MOUSEDEV 28: tristate "Mouse interface" if EMBEDDED 29: default y 30: depends on INPUT
43: config INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX 44: bool "Provide legacy /dev/psaux device" if EMBEDDED 45: default y 46: depends on INPUT_MOUSEDEV
the tristate directive is ignored in most default configurations since EMBEDDED is not set, however this doesn't allow to disable INPUT_MOUSEDEV and INPUT_MOUSEDEV_PSAUX. I don't suppose this is right.
- SOUND_GAMEPORT option is always turned on
./drivers/input/gameport/Kconfig
22: config SOUND_GAMEPORT 23: tristate 24: default y if GAMEPORT!=m 25: default m if GAMEPORT=m
line 24 is definetly wrong, option is enabled if GAMEPORT=n.
Bye
