/sys/amd64/conf/DEFAULTS
Sorry for the boring question, but is the default configuration file /sys/amd64/conf/DEFAULTS anywhere include in a regular configuration file for the kernel while building the kernel? I looked for include statements in GENERIC, but didn't find one. I use custom kernel config files and adapt most changes from the NOTES files in the sources tree. With the today's update of README in /sys/amd64/conf I realised some important changes, so this triggered my question. I simply made an additional include in the custom config file, but if this isn't necessary, I'll delete it again. And I'm interested in how the kernel is built from. It is a very convenient way to type simply make kerne in /usr/src/, but it vanishes to much of the complexity and understanding how the system builds and could cause problems. Thanks for your patience and tahnks in advance, Regards, Oliver signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Thanks for your patience and tahnks in advance, Regards, Oliver From my understanding of things, the DEFAULTS kernel configuration file is automatically included into the build by config(8). There is no need to include it into the generic using the include statement. It was first added 6 years ago, on October 27 2005.
