>Description:
I noticed a few problems while building a custom -current kernel:
- config doesn't notice that 'file-system CODA' needs psuedo-device vcoda and allows you to create a doomed compile tree.
- config doesn't seem to handle the new "bus" interface properly:
For instace, I can enable auich* somewhere and not enable an audio device for it. Config doesn't notice this problem because, audio now attaches to audiobus and there is no direct dependency (am I crazy or does this seem strange?). This is also noticeable in the firewire section except, fwohci doesn't need a fw device to compile.
I can understand this new bus layer but it seems that neither eap or auich will compile without audio and config doesn't seem to know this anymore.
I stupidly trashed the errors but, there were just undefined references (something_attach). They should be easily reproducible.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to build a config with eap or auich and no audio device
