2.6.28: How come some kernel options cannot be disabled for non-existent hardware?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Example:

-> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
-> -*-   Dock

From dmesg:
[    0.247210] ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT
[    0.249987] ACPI: Interpreter enabled
[    0.249990] ACPI: (supports S0 S5)
[    0.250005] ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
[    0.254621] ACPI: No dock devices found.
[    0.254631] ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)

I have no Docking bay on my desktop machine, even when I change:
CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=y
to
CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK=n

It still shows up as enabled and it is in dmesg shown above. How come some kernel options are enabled and cannot (easily?) be disabled for hardware that does not exist in my machine?
