This change automatically selected CONFIG_X86_PAE. The resulting kernel reproduces the issues I have documented in this and other bug reports. (In reply to comment #21 from Thomas Renninger)
In your case (for trying out a specific config) I'd use the editor. Be aware that you should break the compilation the first time (or does make config work?). make detects changes to .config and will revalidate the configuration. If a dependency is wrong, e.g. you disabled an option which is needed for another, your changes will be reset.
Perhaps I am not following your instructions here. When I replaced CONFIG_HIGHMEM4G with CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G using a text editor, make caused .config to revert back to the original setting. When I switched to CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G using make menuconfig, CONFIG_X86_PAE was selected, and could not be deselected.

Were you attempting to describe a method of preventing the dependency check from being performed? In case the steps I performed were consistent with your intention, here are the results. The following changes were made to .config, relative to defconfig-pae: CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-default" (="-pae" for pae) CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32 (=128 for pae) # CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO is not set (=m for pae) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
