Bug 19790 – can't select EV67 in kernel config

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-04-22 13:01:14 UTC]

When I run "make menuconfig", I select DP264 to indicate I have an XP1000. 
However my machine has an EV67 667MHz, so I would like to enable that option as
well.  When I press 'y' on that option, nothing happens.  It appears to be
impossible to check that box.

Note I'm running alpha-sources-2.4.20-r2

[Comment 3 Tavis Ormandy (RETIRED) 2003-06-10 06:55:26 UTC]

assigning to wwoods, alpha-sources maintainer.

[Comment 4 Will Woods (RETIRED) 2003-06-10 10:25:33 UTC]

This is a problem with the stock kernel. In the meantime, you can run "make oldconfig" after your configure is finished, and it should prompt you for the EV67 option.

Will, is this fixed with the new alpha-sources?  I didn't think about checking when I installed the new version.
