That rings a bell from somewhere.

Did you use Pat's config as a starting point (i.e 'make oldconfig')? I
don't mean this as offensive, but you don't seem ready to compile a
kernel without using an existing config file as a starting point.

While it's not a shaggy dog story, it's quite an interesting tail.

Is anybody really ready to go without an existing config file for a
starting point? :-)

I find whenever I do a totally clean config... it usually ends up with
one or two things missing I needed or three or four extras I really
didn't need. :-)

Perhaps you could show us your pgp config file? Perhaps you could
look over the line that says that all postings should be pgp'ed
inline? Inline pgp violates usenet standards of netiquette and
violate this ng's policy. You are asked to show a bit of respect
for the other posters in this group by using pgp only when
circumstances warrant it.

Thank you.

Why would you post 13 lines of unnecessary text just for that one
liner? Please show some respect for the other posters by
refraining from using pgp unless necessary.

Sure, don't you look through all the options when compiling a kernel?
Even when I do have a config to start with, I still check (almost)
every option and deceide if I want/need it or not, regardless of the
fact if it was checked or not to start with.

Well I sometimes do end up with things missing, like the PC speaker the
other rob pointed out recently, but mostly my configs work.

Is pgp one of the options? If so, you should omit it because
inline pgp in usenet postings is a clear and gross violation of
netiquette, not to mention this ng's policy.

Could you please refrain from using pgp in the future unless you
have a good reason to do so?

Thank you.
