Description Narada Sage 2003-03-27 20:39:23 UTC

In gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 via 'make menuconfig' when I click upon 'Fusion MPT
device support' absolutely nothing happens whereas in vanilla-sources-2.4.20 it
gives the following submenu.

Fusion MPT (base + ScsiHost) drivers
Enhanced SCSI error reporting
Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver
Fusion MPT LAN driver

Is this deliberate or a bug?  I don't need these options but felt this should be
reported in case erroneous.  Also, I'd like to request better documentation of
differences between vanilla and gentoo sources other than patches.txt file if at
all possible.  I'm prepared to do this when I have more time in case you should
agree to it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gentoo-sources
2. cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig
3. Click on Fusion MPT device support

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
It should show a submenu on a new page like below.

Fusion MPT (base + ScsiHost) drivers
Enhanced SCSI error reporting
Fusion MPT misc device (ioctl) driver
Fusion MPT LAN driver

i can't reproduce this in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r2 and it seems to work in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 as well. also seems fine in pfeifer-sources as well.

i'd need more info in order to look @ why you get these symptoms.

check gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r3 or pfeifer-sources-2.4.20-pre8 and if you get the same symptom, please post your .config.

also, don't forget under SCSI support to put @ least SCSI disk support as a module...
