Um, with this I get a compile error when DEBUG_KERNEL=n: CC arch/powerpc/kernel/process.o /home/paulus/kernel/powerpc/arch/powerpc/kernel/process.c:1001: error: 'CONFIG_PRINT_STACK_DEPTH' undeclared here (not in a function) make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/process.o] Error 1 I think it needs to look like this: +config PRINT_STACK_DEPTH + int "Stack depth to print" if DEBUG_KERNEL + default 64 + help + This option allows you to set the stack depth that the kernel + prints in stack traces. This can be useful if your display is + too small and stack traces cause important information to + scroll off the screen. + Paul. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
