I've seen something similar on Alpha when I removed the dc driver (leaving xl and miibus in). Removing dc and config / make depend / make /make install / reboot left me with a crashing alpha box. It only got as far as the loader printing a few lines on loading modules. And then a 'kernel stack not valid, HALT' line. Doing config -r on the same kernel config file worked OK. > Is this a bug or a feature ? Should i just keep all the pieces > in GENERIC and add my options there ?
