Description John Lowry 2009-05-25 07:12:54 UTC

The Kconfig help documentation in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5 for CONFIG_SMP refernces file:Documentation/i386/IO-APIC.tx. The IO-APIC.txt file is actually in file:Documentation/x86/i386/IO-APIC.txt. I am sure this is just a small error in upstream.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r5
2. Read help system on SMP


Expected Results:  
The help system should reference the correct documentation.

line 247

It is upstreams error.

I see this is fixed in at least gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5.

"See also <file:Documentation/i386/IO-APIC.txt>,  "

As we are planning on going stable with this and it is a bit of a minor typo, I am going to close this.
