It seems that it got again misplaced (in the current -mm tree it appears within the IBM 40x options menu). Patch against 2.6.9-rc1-mm1, available here: http://www.gc-linux.org/down/isobel/kexec/2.6.9-rc1-mm1/broken-out/kexec-kexecppc-kconfig-fix.patch Cheers, Albert ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ˇ100 MB GRATIS!
