Hi,
(2.6.13-rc2 or later)
This appears to be a dependency bug in gconfig to me.
If I enable NETCONSOLE to y, NETPOLL becomes y. (OK)
If I then disable NETCONSOLE to n, NETPOLL remains y.
If I enable NETCONSOLE to m, NETPOLL remains n. Why is that?
config NETPOLL
def_bool NETCONSOLE
Should this cause NETCONSOLE to track NETPOLL?
xconfig and menuconfig have much stricter tracking of
NETCONSOLE -> NETPOLL. E.g.,
enabling NETCONSOLE=m or y in xconfig also enables NETPOLL=y
and disabling NETCONSOLE also disables NETPOLL.

It should (although it doesn't show it immediately).
Did you compare the saved config files?
bye, Roman

If I disable NETCONSOLE but NETPOLL is still presented as enabled,
and then save and exit gconfig, both NETCONOLE and NETPOLL are
disabled in the .config file, as it should be, so it appears (to me)
to just be a presentation problem in gconfig.
