10 If a driver being built relies on one of those, then it is not
11 viewable/selectable. In drivers/atm, drivers/parport, drivers/net and
12 drivers/scsi selecting certain hardware/drivers automatically enables them
13 (from memory of a similar problem trying to tftpboot an ultra5/10 with a
14 config modified from an e3000 kernel)
15 You can find out what is actually making those "invisible" by grepping your
16 kernel sources for SBUS or SBUSCHAR and piping the results through grep again
17 and finding "depends"
18 grep -r SBUS "/path/to/kernel-sources/" | grep depends
19
20 then look at the Kconfig files listed and see what is "depending" on SBUS and
21 turn it off.
