Yes you are correct. But the problem i was facing is that .config is an auto
gen file and should not be changed manually. Even if you change it and build
the kernel, the value again gets set to 'y' irrespective of your change. So i
was looking for an option from the menuconfig.
I found out the way.
Under /arch/i386 (checked with 'uname -a' and confirmed my architecture)there
is the Kconfig file which sets a default value for all these configuration
flags. Changing it to 'n' there for GENERIC_CMOS_UPDATE disables the flag and
reflects the change in .config.
It works now and can be closed :)
