not sure if my conclusion is correct or not....but if u know...please share. i want to generalize this question - what are all the parameters that must be "y". And whether CONFIG_PROC_FS is one of them. first delete away .config file. Then "make allnoconfig" to force a "n" to all parameter. The .config file created will have CONFIG_PROC_FS=y. And in it are many other "y" parameter as well. What is/are your conclusions?
