I come in peace!
This is a bug report and I hope you won't get irritated
(because most probably you already know about that bug).
So, here is the exact output of "make menuconfig" from
the "SuSE Linux 6.1" distribution:

Menuconfig has encountered a possible error in one of the kernel's
configuration files and is unable to continue.=20
Here is the error report:
=20
Q> scripts/Menuconfig: MCmenu29: command not found
=20
Please report this to the maintainer <mec@shout.net>.
You may also send a problem report to <linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu>.
=20
Please indicate the kernel version you are trying to configure and
which menu you were trying to enter when this error occured.
=20
make: *** [menuconfig] Error 1

Now you see why I decided to send a report - you asked me to.

The kernel version is 2.2.7.

I was trying to enter the "Sound" submenu (form the main menu).

If this information will be of any use, I have a poor hardware as =
follows:
CPU K5-90 ; EDORAM 16Mb ; MB i430VX ;
hda=3DWD1.2Gb ; hdb=3DCD Mitsumi 8x ; Video S3Trio64UV+ ;
ISA Sound ESS1869 ; PCI LAN Winbond 10Mb/s ; ttyS0=3DMS Mouse ;=20
No modem :(
=20
I'll describe the circumstances under which this happened.
Here is exactly what I did:
- Logged on as "root" on tty1 and tty2;
- Changed to "/usr/src/linux" on tty1;
did the same on tty2;
- Launched "make menuconfig" on tty1; did the same on tty2 but
BEFORE the init-process on tty1 had finished. This resulted
in gcc compiling the same things at the same time on both
consoles. I suppose this has "contributed" to the crash...;
- Loaded a configuration file on each console. The files were
different. I wanted to compare them manually for some reason;
- Switched between tty1 and tty2 many times and entered/exited the
submenus to see the differences between the two configurations;
- When I reached the "Sound" submenu (which is towrds the end) I
tried to enter it (on tty1) and then the error occured. On tty2
everything went on OK. I exited and wrote down the error message.
=20
Apparently that bug is not a permanent one, because I had done such a
"manual file compare" before and I did it again later, but the crash
happened only once.

...btw on that special occasion I also noticed another strange effect
but didn't pay attention to it until later (until now):
Sometimes (rarely), just after I had entered a submenu on one of the
consoles, I had to press "Enter" TWICE on the other console to enter
the same menu because the first "Enter" just refreshed the screen...

I have three boring questions. Although I know you are not
the ones who must answer them I feel a desire to ask:

1. The kernel compiled with the first configuration seems not
to see the COM ports. My mouse is gone and I want it back.
That's why I began comparing the two configurations (and met
the bug) but didn't find any differences concerning serial
ports. What should(not) I compile into the kernel to fix that?

2. The kernel compiled with the second configuration says on shutdown:
"shutting down at daemon
Empty pid file /var/run/atd.pid for /usr/sbin/atd failed".
Is this a matter to worry about? If it is - should I disable the at
daemon? If not - how to get rif of the "failed" error.

3. Kernels compiled with both configurations say that they cannot
mount devpts (at boot time) because some module cannot be found.
I removed the corresponding line in fstab and "solved" the problem.
Have I done wrong? If yes - what (the hell) should I compile into
the kernel to really solve the problem.
=20
I've confessed my sins. I feel better now :)

Hope I didn't waste your time.

Bye!

P.S. I've sent the same mail to <mec@shout.net> too.
