That was before we made it possible to have CONFIG_CHECK="~FOO" without /proc/config.gz, for the bugs you yourself submitted, and I fixed years ago. I would expect that ALL Sabayon users would have CONFIG_CHECK_FATAL=0, because they run your kernel (if you have your kernel in a package, maybe even distribute a file that triggers it, so anybody else with their own kernel still has the default CONFIG_CHECK_FATAL=1). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
