27 And for future references, here's how I found out:
28
29 1. On the sources where you have the options highlight one of them and
30 press ? (help). You'll see X86_32 under "Depends on:".
31
32 2. Hit ESC twice and then twice again to return to a menu with
33 search functionality. Then type /X86_32 and hit enter. You'lll see that
34 the option depends on !64BIT, so you need to disable CONFIG_64BIT for
35 X86_32 to be available.
36
37 3. After disabling CONFIG_64BIT on the kernel where the options where missing
38 I searched X86_32 again and this time it has [=y] next to it so it came
39 on automatically and the options showed up but for some options you need to
40 enable manually after enabling the dependencies.
