Bugzilla Bug 133249

When I compiled my kernel (configugarion was done by using make menuconfig) I
got this error message:

------snip-----------------------------------------

Then I checked the help message for the i2c entry and it says, that i2c is
needed for 'video for linux'. So did I and make was successful then.

Since I do not know if such dependencies are set automatically I set the
severity to "enhancement". Maybe there should be a comment in v4l that i2c has
to be enabled too?!

Please, don't needlessly restrict bugs. We need your kernel .config. You also
neglected to post kernel version.

Created an attachment (id=86750) [details]
config file for 2.6.16-gentoo-rt7

Sorry!

The attached file is the recent one ... so I 'activated' I2C _manually_ .

reopening after committing .config as requested
kernel version  is 2.6.16-gentoo-r7
hardware set to AMD64

Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.16-gentoo-r9 / genpatches-2.6.16-11
