Re: [PATCH] 2.6.0-test1 Nonexistent Symbols During Config

[Jeff Smith]

A few notes on each of these.  I do not offer
recommendations, only facts.

CONFIG_X86_SSE:
  Used in include/asm-i386/bugs.h to panic if
  the kernel is compiled for SSE2 but the
  processor does not support it.

CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA_RADIO:
  Used in drivers/net/wireless/ray_cs.c.

CONFIG_INTEL_RNG:
  Not used anywhere in code.

[PATCH] 2.6.0-test1 Nonexistent Symbols During Config

[Kurt Wall]

"make menuconfig" emits the following before it starts:

boolean symbol BINFMT_ZFLAT tested for 'm'? test forced to 'n'
#
# using defaults found in arch/i386/defconfig
#
arch/i386/defconfig:68: trying to assign nonexistent symbol X86_SSE2
arch/i386/defconfig:544: trying to assign nonexistent symbol NET_PCMCIA_RADIO
arch/i386/defconfig:663: trying to assign nonexistent symbol INTEL_RNG

If these symbols have in fact been removed, the patch below removes
them. Not sure how to address the forced test, though.
