Hello, I think the config program used to compile a kernel lacks some documentation because there are several points that remain unclear to me, even after reading the man page. I had several bad surprises with it ! :-) As I didn't want to recompile the whole stuff, I used a config and not a config -r to build a new kernel, after having changed its configuration. I removed several devices and I thought that won't cause any problem, as the objects files for these devices won't be linked into the kernel. But after rebooting on this new kernel, I had a page fault before any kernel message :/ Is there anything to check in order to know if I can use a config instead of a config -r ? If using a config without the -r option is dangerous, I think it shouldn't be the default. Is it the case ?
