Probably, one of your other config symbols is a module and prevents you selecting 'Y' for those deps. Unless you are using menuconfig _frequently_ to try changes to your config, it can be a little confusing. Well, _I_ was confused when I was reconfiguring my kernel to try kvm/qemu a couple of weeks ago. Basically, find the name of the option, then search for it with '/'. I think we all understand that part, but making sense of dependencies which prevent it being selected (or turned off, or made a module) means understanding all the "depends on" output. If you can only make it a module, I would look at any =m in the "depends on" output. In my case, I needed to enable KVM options and misunderstood what the deps were telling me. In that case, the solution was to enable High Res Timers. Doing that let me enable the required KVM options. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
