OK, what about the patch below? > David cu Adrian <-- snip --> This patch: - adds the missing dependency of ROMFS_FS on BLOCK || MTD - disallows the illegal ROMFS_FS=y, MTD=m, ROMFS_ON_MTD=y - ensures that at least one of ROMFS_ON_BLOCK and ROMFS_ON_MTD is always enabled: - automatically enable ROMFS_ON_MTD if BLOCK=n - automatically enable ROMFS_ON_BLOCK if ROMFS_ON_MTD=n - if EMBEDDED=n, ROMFS_ON_BLOCK is always enabled - the "(which may have been disabled)" that could now confuse users has therefore been removed from the help text Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- fs/Kconfig | 17 ++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) --- linux-2.6.21-rc2-mm1/fs/Kconfig.old 2007-03-04 23:04:41.000000000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.21-rc2-mm1/fs/Kconfig 2007-03-04 23:24:27.000000000 +0100 @@ -484,6 +484,7 @@ config ROMFS_FS tristate "ROM file system support" + depends on BLOCK || MTD ---help--- This is a very small read-only file system mainly intended for initial ram disks of installation disks, but it could be used for @@ -499,8 +500,9 @@ answer N. config ROMFS_ON_BLOCK - bool "Block device-backed ROM file system support" + bool "Block device-backed ROM file system support" if (ROMFS_ON_MTD && EMBEDDED) depends on ROMFS_FS && BLOCK + default y help This permits ROMFS to use block devices buffered through the page cache as the medium from which to retrieve data.
