powertop kernel config requirements
cornel panceac
After packaging powertop (actually shamelessly stealing .spec and patches from fedora 18), i get this:
Quoted 1 line
powertop
Failed to mount debugfs!
exiting...
Looking in the README included in the 2.4 tarball, i do not see debugfs on the list of requirement. Is there a place where we can read the complete list of requirements?
Thank you,
Cornel

I think most distros turns on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS. But still this patch is good.
Thanks,

Yes, they do.
But, I for example, usually have self-compiled kernels running in my distro. And on embedded devices the same.
