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. --- ~Randy
