Yes i did mean m sorry - although i have an interesting thing going on and i don't think i'm going mad... I change that option in config to be a 'm' rather than a 'y' and then run my kernel make. After the make i look at the .config file and that option has changed back to a 'y' ?? Can anyone tell me the reason that happens please thanks
