Description Maurice Volaski 2006-04-27 12:58:01 UTC

CONFIG_KMOD determines whether modules can load automatically. 

The default configuration for i386 (and other architectures) has it set to Y for
yes but for x86_64 is not set.

I cannot think of any obvious reason why x86_64 would be off. I think it's a typo.

Comment 1 Andi Kleen 2006-04-27 21:14:22 UTC

arch/x86_64/defconfig is my configuration and I don't like it. -> WILL_NOT_FIX

Comment 2 Arthur Othieno 2006-05-03 01:08:20 UTC

CONFIG_KMOD is not set in i386 defconfig either.

Andi, given your position on this one, care to close as WILL_NOT_FIX?

Comment 3 Maurice Volaski 2006-05-03 09:49:44 UTC

"Will not fix" without a good, valid reason will get it reopened with a request
to have it reassigned.

"CONFIG_KMOD is not set in i386 defconfig either"

Why was this changed? Should I open a bug report on this too?

Comment 4 Roman Zippel 2006-06-20 07:32:56 UTC

This is a per architecture decision, please ask the respective maintainer.

Comment 5 Maurice Volaski 2006-06-20 08:14:29 UTC

Reopened as promised.

Comment 6 Roman Zippel 2006-06-20 08:37:12 UTC

Stop this! This will get you nowhere...

Comment 7 Arthur Othieno 2006-06-20 08:54:50 UTC

Andi has already NAKed this.

If you _really_ feel the urge to re-open this, then please do as a
platform-specific bug instead. Thanks.
