All it does is control whether or not scsi_wait_scan.ko is built. Everyone who's complained about it has been of the form "I turned off all modules, but this module gets built anyway". For them, the answer is simple: Don't run "make modules_install". -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
