doing some research into a future newbie column on interrupts, and i noticed that every single config file default for the Kconfig variable CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS is "y", and every Kconfig file defines that variable as a bool and defaults it to y with no way to be user-selectable. so the obvious question is, under what circumstances will that ever be "n"? more to the point, what does that variable mean, anyway? :-) rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
