CONFIG_H8 in drivers/char/ depend in both 2.4 and 2.5 on CONFIG_OBSOLETE. Since CONFIG_OBSOLETE is never set it is not selectable. Is there any reason why this driver should stay in the kernel or would you accept a patch that removes this driver? cu Adrian ----- End forwarded message ----- Since this issue is still present in current 2.6 kernels, I'd suggest the following: rm drivers/char/h8.c rm drivers/char/h8.h Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk --- linux-2.6.7-mm5-full/drivers/char/Kconfig.old 2004-07-03 00:36:17.000000000 +0200 +++ linux-2.6.7-mm5-full/drivers/char/Kconfig 2004-07-03 00:36:39.000000000 +0200 @@ -795,16 +795,6 @@ This option enables support for the LCD display and buttons found on Cobalt systems through a misc device. -config H8 - bool "Tadpole ANA H8 Support (OBSOLETE)" - depends on OBSOLETE && ALPHA_BOOK1 - help - The Hitachi H8/337 is a microcontroller used to deal with the power - and thermal environment.
