Hello
I installed the packaged 2.6.29 kernel. It did not boot, so thought
of building one from source. I looked at the config for the
distributed kernel and was a little disturbed to see....
bob@spain:~$ head /boot/config-2.6.29-1-sparc64
#
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.29
# Fri Apr 17 14:27:44 2009
#
# CONFIG_64BIT is not set
CONFIG_SPARC=y
CONFIG_SPARC32=y
# CONFIG_SPARC64 is not set
CONFIG_ARCH_DEFCONFIG="arch/sparc/configs/sparc32_defconfig"
bob@spain:~$
I really did expect to see CONFIG_SPARC64 and not CONFIG_SPARC32
set.. I googled and saw no outstanding bugs against the package. But
it does look very wrong to me?
Bob
