Anybody care to venture an opinion why a menu for "Fusion MPT Device Support"
shows up between SCSI and Firewire in the main menu of make menuconfig, but I
can't get into it? I press enter and the main menu just redraws. My .config
is attached. (Never hand-hacked, but carried forward from... 2.4.7, I
think.)

I'm fairly certain my laptop hasn't got this hardware, but it's been like
this for a while and I'm curious.

Oh, and there's no help entries for any of the new kernel hacking stuff, or
the new serverworks he/le agpgart support, or PNPBios support under plug and
pray... I'll go bug Eric.

Nothing to actually stop me from compiling it, of course. (In progress...)
