Missing dependencies in the kernel

Well, as it is the first time, I have some troubles. Not that many, in fact.  I have done "emerge gentoo-sources". After leaving "make menuconfig", I get the following warnings:  代码: warning: (SCHED_AUTOGROUP) selects CGROUP_SCHED which has unmet direct dependencies (CGROUPS && EXPERIMENTAL)  warning: (ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU) selects ACPI_CONTAINER which has unmet direct dependencies (ACPI && EXPERIMENTAL)  warning: (MEDIA_TUNER) selects MEDIA_TUNER_TEA5761 which has unmet direct dependencies (MEDIA_SUPPORT && VIDEO_MEDIA && I2C && EXPERIMENTAL)  All the hardware is a brand new one, and I do not want anything experimental in this kernel. Therefore, I do not want to enable "EXPERIMENTAL", and I need to deselect those options. The trouble is, I do not want to directly change ".config" (comments explicitly tell not to do so anyway), and I have some trouble to find out the options into "menuconfig".  After a long while, I have finally found out that "SCHED_AUTOGROUP" stands for "General setup --> Automatic process group scheduling," and I have disabled it. But, after long searching, I have not been able to find out what "ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU" and "MEDIA_TUNER" stand for. Can somebody help me?  Best regards.  The Spacial Sprite 最后进行编辑的是 Le Farfadet Spatial on Mon Jul 18, 2011 6:33 pm, 总计第 2 次编辑

Indeed, pressing "/," I can make some search for configure string. Anyway, I still have some trouble localising either "ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU" or "MEDIA_TUNER". The search result does not give any location for them, as if they are located in the main menu (Kernel Configuration). Though, I cannot find any corresponding option in the main menu. It seems like these options are hidden until you select an option, but I do not know what option will make them appear. I have tried to enable "Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers" (EXPERIMENTAL), but it did not make them appear.  Best regards.  The Spacial Sprite

Well, actually I want to only deselect experimental stuff. I guess there is a way to know what is experimental and what is not experimental. The question is: what is that way?  引用: You did not specify the kernel version you are using  2.6.38  Regards.  The Spacial Sprite

When "EXPERIMENTAL" is enable, then I can find "ACPI_CONTAINER", but I can only either build it in or modularised it, I cannot disable it. Tell me if I am mistaken, as it seems that I have to choose between some experimental support of ACPI or no ACPI at all. Some ACPI support can be useful, so I have enabled "EXPERIMENTAL" and modularised "ACPI_CONTAINER." At least, I can hope being able to unload the module if I get some trouble with it.  Anyway, with this configuration, I have no more missing dependencies, I can boot this kernel with no error message and I do not have any trouble while running it. So far …  Before I turn this thread as resolved, is it possible to confirm with you that my understanding is correct?  Regards.  The Spacial Sprite

Thanks to those on this thread for helping me find my way around. What I found regarding the MEDIA_TUNER stuff was that I had to enable Customize analog and hybrid tuner modules to build, then go into the tuners subscreen, where everything was turned on (as modules). If I turned them all off, then went up a level and turned off the aforementioned customization category, after I exited menuconfig, everything would be returned to the original state (with all the device modules turned on). So what I did was turn off all the individual device modules but left Customize analog and hybrid tuner modules to build activated. In this way, the device modules appear to remain turned off.  As for the CPU hotplugging problem, I found (similarly), that if I turn on EXPERIMENTAL in order to modularize the CONTAINER (change to M), and then try to turn off EXPERIMENTAL again, the CONTAINER is reverted to Y. I have decided to accept this state of affairs, rather than leave EXPERIMENTAL turned on.  I hope these problems are temporary quirks in this particular kernel version, or series, and that they will go away in later versions.

Disabling this option will disable support for them."  Robin
