Historically disabling EMBEDDED had hid essential options for many MIPS platforms such as serial console and forced crap like VGA support or power managment enabled for platforms where those don't make any sense. The name of the option is also _very_ missleading so many users don't select it even where is was required for a functioning kernel. After reviewing the current Kconfig files it seems this is no longer the case, so I'll queue this patch for 2.6.33. Ralf
