Well, Linus does have a point - I can't start a new with Kconfig and generate a working defconfig first time mainly because of the thounds of options there. What I can do is get the ARM side of the configuration right, since for the majority of cases the only thing that needs doing is selecting the platform class and the board itself. The problem comes with driver configuration, where you have to go through lots of menus to find all the drivers for the platform/SoC. That's the tedious bit, and more often than not it takes several attempts to get everything that's necessary. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arm-msm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
