Minor config file issues - 53c700 and 802.1d bridging support

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: Just spotted a couple of minor buglets in kernel-2.4.18-i686.config. I assume they're present in other configs too, although I must confess I haven't checked (as at kernel-2.4.18-0.10). 1) CONFIG_BRIDGE_NF is set to "m", and I believe this is not a legal option - should be "y" or "n" - I prefer "y", but you're the boss... 2) CONFIG_53C700_IO_MAPPED or CONFIG_53C700_MEM_MAPPED - could you set one of these to stop linux/drivers/scsi/53c700.h from moaning Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.(re)build i686-up kernel from source using RH distributed config file 2. 3. Actual Results: non-fatal errors reported during build (unless you actually want the 53c700 scsi driver or bridging support, in which case it's non- functional) Additional info:
Good catch on the bridging one! As for the 53C700: that's not a config question but a derived value based on whatever adapters you configure. I assume you run make oldconfig before using a config file ?
I have no clue where the scsi stuff is derived from, and I haven't had the time to dig. I don't actually have (or require) anything even loosely based on the 53c700. This only came to light when I applied a FreeS/WAN 1.95 "make xrpm" to the RH kernel distribution to get IPSEC clent functionality. For whatever reason, the FreeS/WAN installation is highly sensitive to the case insensitive string "error" in stdout or stderror of a kernel build... However, for the record, here is what I did to demonstrate the scsi issue (totally independent of anything FreeS/WAN related): 1) rpm -i kernel-2.4.18-0.10.src.rpm 2) cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS 3) rpm -bp kernel.spec 4) cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.4.18/linux 5) cp configs/kernel-2.4.18-i686.config arch/i386/defconfig (overwrite existing defconfig) 6) make mrproper 7) make xconfig (save and exit without making any changes whatsoever) 8) make dep bzImage modules (redirect stdout and stderr to a logfile) Somewhere in the logfile is an error from 53c700.h: In file included from 53c700.c:134: 53c700.h:40:2: #error "Config.in must define either CONFIG_53C700_IO_MAPPED or CONFIG_53C700_MEM_MAPPED to use this scsi core."
