Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I faced an ethernet driver miss during my kernel configuration, |
| 4 |
because I had a wrong idea of what 'make oldconfig' did. I thought the |
| 5 |
oldconfig target build up a new .config file starting from the |
| 6 |
/proc/config.gz one then asking for new options. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
But It was not the case here: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
sd-4421 linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 # gunzip -c /proc/config.gz | grep VIA |
| 11 |
CONFIG_MVIAC3_2=y |
| 12 |
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y |
| 13 |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_VIA=y |
| 14 |
CONFIG_VIA_RHINE=y |
| 15 |
# CONFIG_VIA_RHINE_MMIO is not set |
| 16 |
# CONFIG_VIA_RHINE_NAPI is not set |
| 17 |
CONFIG_VIA_VELOCITY=y |
| 18 |
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIA=y |
| 19 |
CONFIG_I2C_VIA=m |
| 20 |
CONFIG_I2C_VIAPRO=m |
| 21 |
# CONFIG_SENSORS_VIA686A is not set |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
sd-4421 linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 # make mrproper oldconfig |
| 24 |
[snip] |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
sd-4421 linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r8 # grep VIA .config |
| 27 |
# CONFIG_MVIAC3_2 is not set |
| 28 |
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX is not set |
| 29 |
CONFIG_SATA_VIA=y |
| 30 |
# CONFIG_PATA_VIA is not set |
| 31 |
# CONFIG_VIA_RHINE is not set |
| 32 |
# CONFIG_VIA_VELOCITY is not set |
| 33 |
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIA=y |
| 34 |
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set |
| 35 |
# CONFIG_SOUND_VIA82CXXX is not set |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So, I did not build up the VIA RHINE and VELOCITY drivers. |
| 38 |
Now I have to build my conf again since the whole configuration may |
| 39 |
not suit what I was looking for. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Anyone to tell me what oldconfig target does ? |
| 42 |

Many thanks for your support, |
