i just noticed this in init/Kconfig: ... choice prompt "Choose SLAB allocator" default SLUB help This option allows to select a slab allocator. config SLAB bool "SLAB" help The regular slab allocator that is established and known to work well in all environments. It organizes cache hot objects in per cpu and per node queues. SLAB is the default choice for a slab allocator. ... but while there is some help text associated with the "choice" entry, i don't see how you can display it while in "make menuconfig". you can certainly display the help info for each of the actual underlying choices, but not for the choice entry itself. or am i missing something here? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
