Just turn that default y option really to y Suprise, surprise, make oldconfig won't tell you anything about defaults because you already turned it off moons ago. > (yes, you are right, the help text of this option is misleading...). Agree, reference to 2006 is particularly pathetic, given that breakage happened on recent fedora (sorry, box was reinstalled since then, I can't recall which fedora exactly). > It's like you turn off old acpi events option and scream that you acpi daemon > doesn't work for instance. > There are many instances of this behaviour in the kernel. Indeed, but don't mix types of breakage, please. You can turn off ACPI or CPU_FREQ or SMP and forget. You can't turn off SYSFS_DEPRECATED and forget. > And yes, many people don't need that option tuyrned on -- Wish them luck. /me goes on thinking about cpufreqfs to eventually turn off SYSFS completely. -- 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/
