If you do so you have to blacklist one by default because udev will magically load both. > * build just one of them (typically agp) > * build them both, and let the above bug happen Well the bug was not with both build into the kernel. CONFIG_EDAC=Y CONFIG_EDAC_<something>=m, CONFIG_AGP=m CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=m breaks agp already. > * build agp into the kernel, and edac modular, breaking edac > for a minority. What does happen if one builds both into the kernel ? ( eg: all the *_AGP* Y , and all the *_EDAC* y ) Guessing no one of them will work ? > > > Is there something short-term-and-sleazy we can do to "fix" it? > > not that I'm aware of.
