There is none. In fact, there _cannot_ be any these days, since all recent kernrels have stopped using defconfig entirely, and favour using /etc/kernel-config instead (making it much easier to have per-machine default configurations). > At least for the development kernel, a default-enabled kksymoops sounds > like the right way to go. We can ask people to enable it if they can't get their oops reports together (and whether they get their oops reports in shape by using the user-space ksymoops or the kernel version really doesn't matter).
