Description of problem:

linux-2.4.21-bnx2.patch from kernel-2.4.21-40.EL.src.rpm removes "endmenu" from
drivers/net/Config.in causing an abort of "make menuconfig".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.4.21-40.EL.src.rpm
kernel-source-2.4.21-40.EL

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild -bp SPECS/kernel-2.4.spec
2. cd BUILD/kernel-2.4.21/linux-2.4.21
3. make menuconfig

5. select "Ethernet (1000 Mbit)"

Actual results:

Abort with error:
Q> scripts/Menuconfig: line 832: MCmenu36: command not found

I have included the patch above in the test kernels here: 
 
   http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel3/ 
 
I expect that it will be available in RHEL3 U8.
Comment 4 Peter Pramberger 2006-03-17 20:27:23 UTC 
Confirmed.

Thx
