 |
|
Hi, well, so pretty much my tittle says it everything, my kernel options are not what are shown in the vanilla kernel, not even the vanilla kernel has the options it should (tested with the same sources in two hosts running gentoo, the troublesome is my laptop)
For example, I cant see ACPI - VIDEO, actually, if I try to go to 2.6.24.X I just cant see ACPI at all, just APM
Along other tons of things like general menu only having 7 or 8 items.
I´ve tried make clean before make menuconfig, having not done make oldconfig and having deleted the .config for it, my actual compiled kernel is 2.6.26.3 and it works awesomely, but as it deals badly with ACPI events and I need it for my laptop, I was told it was a better shot to downgrade, since the last known version to work error-less with my hardware was 2.6.24.7.
Any idea what can I try to do?
Any help is appreciated.

If you are having trouble finding certain kernel options, you could start with a fully populated .config, and then work your way backwards by removing the options you don't need.
| Code: | # make allmodconfig
# make menuconfig |
If you want to start with a clean slate, and work your way up, then try this.
| Code: | # make allnoconfig
# make menuconfig |
Starting with the default configuration is probably the easiest, because many of the popular options are already selected.
| Code: | # make defconfig
# make menuconfig |

Lovely, thanks, that's what I was after.
Nevertheless, I wanted to inform that I located the trouble with the use of dtrace (and a friend who was the one lurking  )
Seems like apparently, kernels where catting /proc/config.gz to retrieve the information, but where not parsing it properly.
NOTE TO MODS: Since it has been solved, could someone please tag it as such? |

You can do it yourself by editing the first post and adding [SOLVED] to the title.

Oops, thanks, done.

No, just leave it like this. You might need to return to this later or someone else might have some more suggestions, comments, ideas, similar issues etc. So all is fine for now
