7 That was before we made it possible to have CONFIG_CHECK="~FOO" without
8 /proc/config.gz, for the bugs you yourself submitted, and I fixed years

11 I would expect that ALL Sabayon users would have CONFIG_CHECK_FATAL=0,
12 because they run your kernel (if you have your kernel in a package,
13 maybe even distribute a file that triggers it, so anybody else with
14 their own kernel still has the default CONFIG_CHECK_FATAL=1).
