I don't think so. defconfig is just there to get some working system. You should really pay attention to the config options you care about, and select the value YOU want. Neither defconfig nor the "default value" matter in that. Of course especially the "default value" should be a sane one, but it is in this case.. your system boots and works fine. defconfig also tends to be the config used by the arch maintainer, eg the one he uses for his system. He might very well have different preferences than you have... -- if you want to mail me at work (you don't), use arjan (at) linux.intel.com Test the interaction between Linux and your BIOS via http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org
