I played around with the Debian kernel configuration a bit yesterday and we actually only need a simple kernel configuration file for the -virt flavor: glaubitz@nofan:..linux/linux-6.4.4> cat debian/config/m68k/config.virt ## ## file: arch/m68k/Kconfig.machine ## CONFIG_VIRT=y glaubitz@nofan:..linux/linux-6.4.4> We should actually align the m68k kernel configuration with the one for Alpha which has one common config file as well as separate configuration files for both a generic kernel and the smp kernel [1]. We should have the following files in the end: - config - config.m68k-generic - config.m68k-virt For editing the configuration, it's normally recommended to follow this guide [2] and check the configuration with the kconfigeditor2 script [3]. However, in our case it should be enough to split the configuration items specific to Amiga, Atari and Mac to the config.m68k-generic configuration file, leave the rest in config and just add CONFIG_VIRT=y to config.m68k-virt as show above.
