2.5 - No early printk for GENERIC
PATCH 1/1 2.5 - No early printk for GENERIC
David,
Here is a patch to the ia64 Kconfig file that disables the EARLY_PRINTK menu option if a GENERIC kernel is selected.
As we discussed last week, EARLY_PRINTK doesn't work for GENERIC kernels anymore because readb/readl are now machvecs.
thanks
