34 ---help---
35 Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
36 drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
37 of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
38 testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
39 known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
40 currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
41 uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
42 avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
43 testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
44 may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
45 in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
46 with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
47 (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
48 <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
49 <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
50 <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
51
52 This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
53 drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
54 scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
55
56 Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
57 falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
58 using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
59 cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
60 you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
61 drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

1398 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make
1399 modules_install" to put the modules under /lib/modules/
1400 where modprobe can find them (you may need to be root to do
1401 this).

Rusty Russell91e37a72008-05-09 16:25:28 +10001411 Allow loading of modules without version information (ie. modprobe

1413 is usually a really bad idea.

1418 Without this option you will not be able to unload any
1419 modules (note that some modules may not be unloadable
Denys Vlasenkof7f5b672008-07-22 19:24:26 -05001420 anyway), which makes your kernel smaller, faster

1426 help
1427 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1428 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1429 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1430 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1436 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1437 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1438 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1439 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1440 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

Linus Torvalds1da177e2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07001445 help
1446 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1447 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1448 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1449 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1450 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1451 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1452 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
