What is the reason > behind ? 2.4.13 used to do (in sound/core/Config.in): bool ' OSS API emulation' CONFIG_SND_OSSEMUL $CONFIG_SND The bool verb take exaxctly two arguments, the option description and the config option itself, if you want additional depencies you have to use dep_bool instead. If this fix breaks ALSA it only shows that it has even deeper config problems - I don't use ALSA and care only about the syntactical correctness of that file.
