Only if you intend to never support non-PCI, non-EISA older boxes. Regardless of your intent - proper combinations of CONFIG_xxxxx are supposed to be handled by the (x)config step of the build process. After all - that is what "configure" means (in English). To do a clean job of this - a selection of "Box Model" (similar to "Processor Type") may have to be added to the configuration scripts. With corresponding #ifdef/#ifndef statements in the relavent code. At the moment - I have tunnel vision - I am focused on getting a personal copy of parisc-linux to boot on my model 720 box. The comments and findings I post to the mailing lists may be freely disregarded by anyone not interested them. Still, they will exist in the mail list archives so that any developer working on a public version of this kernel can use them for hints, leads and other ideas.
