Yes yes yes! That's the tip I was hoping for! I've missed CONFIG_SCSI_LOWLEVEL because I was looking for answers here: https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SCSI_ISCI.html. It's the first time that that database gives me wrong information... Conversely, this website is correct: https://www.kernelconfig.io/config_scsi_isci?q=&kernelversion=5.4.230&arch=x86.
And for the module list, I was blaming linux-module.scm because the system reconfigure was failing at that point. Looking in the code I knew that the list was generated elsewhere, but I couldn't find where, nor how it is passed to linux-modules... I admit I've just wet my toe in Guix (and guile programming) and the codebase is huge... Thank you very much. Now my system reconfigure ended correctly! Time for latency tests... :-D On Fri, Jan 27, 2023 at 11:07 AM Tobias Geerinckx-Rice <m...@tobias.gr> wrote: > > Hi, > > dabb...@gmail.com 写道: > > I've stopped the kernel build after the config phase and I've > > inspected the resulting .config file.
