While building a newer kernel for a server (which had been running 2.6.12 or so), I spent some time looking for how to set the VMSPLIT .config options. I searched in menuconfig for VMSPLIT and was given a few responses, all similar to this: â Symbol: VMSPLIT_3G [=n] â Prompt: 3G/1G user/kernel split â Defined at arch/i386/Kconfig:488 â Depends on: <choice> Since depending on "<choice>" is less than helpful, I did an rgrep and found what it actually depends on: depends on EXPERIMENTAL && !X86_PAE prompt "Memory split" if EMBEDDED default VMSPLIT_3G and was able to determine that I needed the patch recently submitted by Dave Hansen to enable VMSPLIT for highmem kernels. Is there a reason that menuconfig is not able to tell me this, i.e. this is a known limitation of the choice syntax?
