ACPI (Advanced Configuration And Power Configuration) not present on 2.6.38.8?

Question

I need to disable some parts in ACPI, but it is simply not present in kernel 2.6.38.8 (downloaded as a tar from net)?

I can see the option in kernel 2.6.34-12 (default on OpenSuse 11.3), but not in the other one.

What's the point that I am missing?

P.S. Screen shots are from kernel 2.6.38.8.

The ACPI block depends on PCI being enabled.

Symbol: ACPI [=y]
...
  Depends on: !IA64_HP_SIM && (IA64 || X86 [=y]) && PCI [=y]

If you disabled PCI (or didn't enable it), or selected a different architecture, you won't see any options related to ACPI.

BTW, where did you find this written? Depends on: !IA64_HP_SIM && (IA64 || X86 [=y]) && PCI [=y] I can't see it in my screenshots.

It's the help text for the selector... that is hidden if you don't have PCI enabled.

Mat, thanks but that's not helpful on the part of kernel. :(

I think it might be accessible in 3.x kernels, but can't test right now. Kconfig is a bit quirky.
