This patch is right, and I applied it. On i386, it did what it should -- made the menus look better.
Testing x86_64 exposed a latent bug, however. Since CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA=y does a select on ACPI, it is possible to config a kernel with PM=n and ACPI=y, which violates ACPI's dependency on PM. Basically, select of something that has dependencies doesn't enforce those dependencies. When will somebody re-write Kconfig into something that humans can use? -Len On Sunday 04 March 2007 13:17, Robert P. J.
