That indicates a kernel option that has not been activated. This is what I have in that area: # # File systems # CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS=y # CONFIG_EXT2_FS is not set CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y # CONFIG_EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED is not set CONFIG_EXT3_FS_XATTR=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_POSIX_ACL=y CONFIG_EXT3_FS_SECURITY=y CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y # CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL is not set # CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY is not set # CONFIG_EXT4_DEBUG is not set -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
