request for prebuilt kernels
I would like to request that all prebuilt 2.6 kernels include
CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y (and preferably also CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y) as part
of their config. The former enables me to get the .config file used to
build the kernel, using a script in the kernel source tree, and the
latter enables me to get it from 'zcat /proc/config.gz'.
I recently had to reinstall a system, and I would like to compile a
custom kernel for this system. The prebuilt kernel works, except for
one thing. So far I have been unable to get the correct configuration
to get a new kernel to work. It would be great if I could start from a
.config which already has most of the settings correct. As I see it,
that's the whole point of the /proc/config.gz feature.
This seems to me like it would be a common problem, therefore, I would
like to request that all future prebuilt kernels include this setting.
Thanks.
