Subject: [PATCH] change misleading EFI partition support description
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2007 11:07:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1173953259.3349.8.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)
This patch removes the misleading "Presently only useful on the IA-64
platform" text from the EFI partition Kconfig.
EFI partitions are also used by Apple on their Intel-based machines and
thus you need EFI partition support if you (for example) want to attach
such a machine in target disk mode.
