There was a change in options between 2.6.33 and 2.6.34 that makes some options fall out when running "make oldconfig". I would pull the source rpm from rawhide and use the config file from there. You need to merge the files together using merge.pl. Something like this: merge.pl config-x84_64-generic config-generic > .config If that does not work I can dig out the config file I use on my home machine from 2.6.35-rc3. -- Truth is stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
