Finding out what certain kernel config options are dependant on
Hi, I'm sorry for not posting a more development related question, but I know there is a need for finding out why certain options in make config are preselected, and why we can't choose not to use them. If this doesn't make sense, consider this:
On my machine, with 2.6.8-rc4-mm1 (and all the other versions I've tried so far in 2.6) CONFIG_CRYPTO is preselected, and I can't remove it. I'm not interested in the cryptographic API at all. So what driver or option did i enable that requires CONFIG_CRYPTO? I'd appreciate help on finding this out, since I'd like to remove it all from my .config. Is there a script or some other automated way on finding this out?
If I find out that CONFIG_CRYPTO really is needed in the kernel all the way, I appologize for asking such a stupid question, but then I'd wonder why there is even an option for that.

find . -name Kconfig\* | xargs grep select | grep CRYPTO
It seems, you have one or more of the following options enabled:
BLK_DEV_CRYPTOLOOPDM_CRYPTINET6_AHINET6_ESPINET6_IPCOMPINET_AHINET_ESPINET_IPCOMPIPV6_PRIVACYIP_SCTPNFS_V4RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5
Disabling all of them should enable you to disable CRYPTO.

"Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
"Only a promise," Lao Er said.
