That's probably because your old config file was relatively recent, and had things like CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y in it. But those people who are still dragging around old config files which predate the introduction of CONFIG_BLK_DEV will find that 2.6.22-rc6-mm1 oldconfig will give them CONFIG_BLK_DEV=n instead of current mainline's deafult of CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y. I think making BLK_DEV deafult to n was a bit dumb, so I dropped the offending patches. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
