> >Okay, what is "tiger defconfig"? I'm also unfamiliar with what bsp >removal is -- is that a hp memory feature for ia64? Tiger_defconfig is golden config that works on tiger4 systems. if you are compiling for tiger, you could use make tiger_defconfig, to generate your .config, and then build. BSP removal is support to remove cpu0, (BootStrap Processor) On i386/x86_64 cpu0 removal is prohibited (for now), ia64 and I think ppc64 also supports ability to remove cpu0.
