When running "genkernel --config" on gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r4, the configuration part (menuconfig) crashes whenever I try to enter the "Networking options" submenu. It doesn't seem to be a problem with my custom configuration; I removed it from /etc/kernels, but menuconfig still crashes. Furthermore, this is no "genkernel"-specific problem -- crashing occurs also when running "make menuconfig" directly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gentoo-sources-2.4.22-r4 2. genkernel --config <or> make menuconfig in /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-gentoo-r4 3. Select "Networking options" submenu Actual Results: menuconfig crashes with the following error message: --8<-- snip --8<-- Menuconfig has encountered a possible error in one of the kernel's configuration files and is unable to continue. Here is the error report: Q> scripts/Menuconfig: line 832: MCmenu19: command not found Please report this to the maintainer <mec@shout.net>. You may also send a problem report to <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org>. Please indicate the kernel version you are trying to configure and which menu you were trying to enter when this error occurred. make: *** [menuconfig] Fehler 1 Error running "make menuconfig"; exiting. -->8-- snap -->8-- Expected Results: The "Networking options" submenu should appear correctly.

I can confirm this, using menuconfig on an x86 system (Athlon t-bird). Please fix ASAP.
This problem can easily be solved: File net/ipsec/Config.in: line 34: Remove the leading comment mark -------- This fix also removes the issue: "No ipsec- modular algs visible using make xconfig" Sandro Littke.
And im getting closer to the problem: 1. you cannot compile 1DES *and* 3DES as modular alg into kernel at the same time 2. so there is an issue in net/ipsec/alg/Config.alg_1des.in with "dep_tristate" (to be seen where you use make xconfig on my <networking enabled> version, make menuconfig gets that error too but ignores it). Does anyone know how to write that Config.alg_1des.in to "disable 1DES if 3DES is set" ? The quick-fix: Disable 1DES at all in file net/ipsec/alg/Config.in, line 13: Comment this line out and everything should work fine now. Sandro Littke.

Fixed - emerge sync and remerge your sources. I've removed the stray "#" and I've disabled 1DES support as it seems to be conflicting. Thanks. Brian, please fix both issues in the next release.
