Yes, look at the multiple help texts in lib/Kconfig.debug in vanilla 2.6.11, or, in the current bk tree, in lib/Kconfig.debug and arch/um/Kconfig for MAGIC_SYSRQ. For UML we need different help texts, so I'd like this solved. If you definitely don't want to fix this, we can use the old 2.4 trick of having CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ2, for instance, with the right help and defining MAGIC_SYSRQ as equal to MAGIC_SYSRQ2. > I know that there's currently one help > text per symbol > and the behaviour for multiple help texts is basically > undefined. Yes, it's what I saw (actually I guess and seem to have verified that the last read text is used). -- Paolo Giarrusso, aka Blaisorblade Linux registered user n. 292729 http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
