not like it's a big deal, but there's a minor incongruity between the default values for LOG_BUF_SHIFT for IA64 depending on whether you're configuring for the first time or not.
if i'm configuring with a fresh tree for the first time (so that there's no .config file) and i run: $ make ARCH=ia64 menuconfig (on my x86 system, just for fun) then the initial value for LOG_BUF_SHIFT is obtained from arch/ia64/defconfig: CONFIG_LOG_BUF_SHIFT=20 however, once i do that initial config, if i deselect "Kernel debugging" and later reselect it, the new default value of 16 for that config option comes from lib/Kconfig.debug: ... config LOG_BUF_SHIFT int "Kernel log buffer size (16 => 64KB, 17 => 128KB)" if DEBUG_KERNEL range 12 21 default 17 if S390 || LOCKDEP default 16 if X86_NUMAQ || IA64 <-- 16, not 20 ... is it worth trying to bring the Kconfig.debug default values into line with the defconfig file values, to avoid any possible confusion? rday - 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/
