Andrew,
I have just tested this, and have reproduced your problem. Using
kernel-2.4.16 and cml2-1.2.20, i.e. my current kernel and the latest CML2,
I ran "make oldconfig" three times. The first time I answered "n" to 21
queries. The second and third times, I had to answer "n" to 9
queries. The 9 all appeared in the first run and were exactly the same in
the second and third runs.
Here're the 9 queries from runs 2 and 3:
EXPERT: Prompt for expert choices (those with no help attached)
(EXPERIMENTAL) [ ] (NEW)?:
DEVELOPMENT: Configure a development or 2.5 kernel? (EXPERIMENTAL) [ ] (NEW)?:
CD_NO_IDESCSI: Support CD-ROM drives that are not SCSI or IDE/ATAPI [ ]
(NEW)?:
IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER: Advanced router [ ] (NEW)?:
NET_VENDOR_SMC: Western Digital/SMC cards [ ] (NEW)?:
NET_VENDOR_RACAL: Racal-Interlan (Micom) NI cards [ ] (NEW)?:
NET_POCKET: Pocket and portable adapters [ ] (NEW)?:
HAMRADIO: Amateur Radio support [ ] (NEW)?:
FBCON_FONTS: Select other compiled-in fonts [ ] (NEW)?:
From past testing of CML2 I know it uses file config.out as its
"memory". Looking in it, I didn't see any CONFIG symbols for these symbols.
There's definitely something here for Eric to fix!
