  13. Some of the various things that Linux supports (such as network
  14. drivers, file systems, network protocols, etc.) can be in a state
  15. of development where the functionality, stability, or the level of
  16. testing is not yet high enough for general use. This is usually
  17. known as the "alpha-test" phase among developers. If a feature is
  18. currently in alpha-test, then the developers usually discourage
  19. uninformed widespread use of this feature by the general public to
  20. avoid "Why doesn't this work?" type mail messages. However, active
  21. testing and use of these systems is welcomed. Just be aware that it
  22. may not meet the normal level of reliability or it may fail to work
  23. in some special cases. Detailed bug reports from people familiar
  24. with the kernel internals are usually welcomed by the developers
  25. (before submitting bug reports, please read the documents
  26. <file:README>, <file:MAINTAINERS>, <file:REPORTING-BUGS>,
  27. <file:Documentation/BUG-HUNTING>, and
  28. <file:Documentation/oops-tracing.txt> in the kernel source).
  29. This option will also make obsoleted drivers available. These are
  30. drivers that have been replaced by something else, and/or are
  31. scheduled to be removed in a future kernel release.
  32. Unless you intend to help test and develop a feature or driver that
  33. falls into this category, or you have a situation that requires
  34. using these features, you should probably say N here, which will
  35. cause the configurator to present you with fewer choices. If
  36. you say Y here, you will be offered the choice of using features or
  37. drivers that are currently considered to be in the alpha-test phase.

  370. This option enables normal printk support. Removing it
  371. eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image
  372. and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it
  373. very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is
