Hello, Thanks for all the help. As stated earlier from [1] CONFIG_REISER4=m ... or whatever it is into config.addon/x86_64/vanilla, tar it up into config.addon.tar.bz2, and it will get pulled in automatically. Will that actually make all the changes to the .config file because after applying these settings # make menuconfig locally File systems ---> <M> The Extended 4 (ext4) filesystem It changed over 300 lines changed in the .config , that seems alot. # diff .config .config.old | grep -i "<" | wc -l 209 # diff .config .config.old | grep -i ">" | wc -l 119 This is to fix the following error [2] in project [3]. A step closer at least the patch applied.
