Highly esteemed gurus,
The "8.3. Linux-2.6.11.12" page,
LFS-BOOK-6.1-pre1-HTML/chapter08/kernel.html, contains two "Note"
sections. The first of these seems to me as though it might be
obsolete.
The first thing it encouraged me to do was
be sure to enable the "Support for hot-pluggable devices"
option under the "General Setup" menu
but when I was executing "make menuconfig" and exploring the "General
Setup" menu, the "Support for hot-pluggable devices" didn't seem to be
settable. In place of the usual "[ ]" or "< >", I saw only something
like "---", and my attempts to set it using the Y key were fruitless,
bootless, and ineffectual.
The second thing it encourages me to do is
enable the "Virtual memory file system support" option
under the "File systems"/"Pseudo filesystems" menu
Now, that's all well and good, but it seems to assume that this option
wasn't enabled by default (else you might have given me lots of other
advice to enable things that were already enabled. Anyway, in case
this changed and you hadn't noticed, the default setting is now that
the "Virtual memory file system support" option is enabled.
Thanks for all your work,
Kim
