As I see the same problem appears also with the following Alpha architecture
settings:
Alpha-XL (-> Avanti)
AlphaBook1 (-> Noname)
As it is quite easy to avoid this mis-setting in Configure (make
config/oldconfig) by the following hack:
if [ "$CONFIG_ALPHA_CABRIOLET" = "y" ]; then
unset CONFIG_ALPHA_EB64P
fi
if [ "$CONFIG_ALPHA_XL" = "y" ]; then
unset CONFIG_ALPHA_AVANTI
fi
if [ "$CONFIG_ALPHA_BOOK1" = "y" ]; then
unset CONFIG_ALPHA_NONAME
fi
choice 'Alpha system type' ...
it can't help with xconfig. And (IMHO) it is just a hack, not a proper
solution.
The proper solution is probably to move three of the above "system type"
settings outside the main menu. Does anybody know differences between the
mentioned above three pairs of system types and how to do it?
Same problem appears in the 2.4 series.
