The file boot/config-3.11-2-m68k comes not from defconfig but from the deb, generated by scripts discussed earlier in this thread, see https://lists.debian.org/debian-68k/2013/12/msg00159.html You are right that the mac defconfig upstream might benefit from CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y, but I'm not particularly fussed about it because upstream users can configure their own kernels. $ egrep 'PMACZILOG|EARLY_PRINTK' arch/m68k/configs/* arch/m68k/configs/mac_defconfig:CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG=y arch/m68k/configs/mac_defconfig:CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG_TTYS=y arch/m68k/configs/mac_defconfig:CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG_CONSOLE=y arch/m68k/configs/multi_defconfig:CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG=y arch/m68k/configs/multi_defconfig:CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG_TTYS=y arch/m68k/configs/multi_defconfig:CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG_CONSOLE=y Like I said earlier, the lack of EARLY_PRINTK has been a problem for Debian users so far and not upstream users.
