Defaults cannot override the user values from .config and in most 2.4 .configs CONFIG_INPUT is disabled, so that you cannot change CONFIG_VT with 'make oldconfig', as it depends now on CONFIG_INPUT. To override the old CONFIG_INPUT value you either have to disable the input prompt somehow or you have to rename the symbol and change CONFIG_INPUT into a derived symbol, e.g.: config INPUT2 tristate "Input devices (needed for keyboard, mouse, ...)" default y config INPUT def_tristate INPUT2 bye, Roman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
