Are you editing ".config" manually? if yes, why don't you use "make menuconfig" (or another config target) because there are dependencies that you can't account for when using vi/nano/emacs/whatever. I run the rc kernels on my laptop and about a year decided to stop fiddling around with kernel configs so I use the Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu configs in rotation for each rc series; and my kernels compile without a hitch. (You're running "make oldconfig" twice in [1], not that it should really matter.) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
