Have you tried to do this? Its almost impossible to get the kernel to
compile with almost everything turned on.
If you want to play :), I've attached a patch to linux/scripts/Configure.
It adds the "-m" option, which stands for MAX! It will add everything that
can be added, modules in favor of built in.
It also adds the -x option, which allows you to setup a file of exceptions
for the -m option:
nicholas(2)@neko [704 /<2>tmp/linuxkernel] > cat X
CONFIG_SOUND=n
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=n
nicholas(2)@neko [705 /<2>tmp/linuxkernel] > sh scripts/Configure -m \
-x ./X arch/i386/config.in
Because you don't want to compile _EVERYTHING_ :)
G'day!
