Hello,

What do I have to do to start using a new option in the kernel
configuration file?

I have a file 'kern/foo.c' which I want to compile with the rest of
the kernel based on a option in the config file. I have added the
following line to conf/files:

kern/foo.c		optional foo

I have also added the following to the kernel conf file:

options		FOO

Inspite of this, when I run config, it says:

unknown option "FOO".

What am I missing?

regards,
Rohit.
