2# This file has some examples for creating a MIN_CONFIG.
3# (A .config file that is the minimum for a machine to boot, or
4#  to boot and make a network connection.)
5#
6# A MIN_CONFIG is very useful as it is the minimum configuration
7# needed to boot a given machine. You can debug someone else's
8# .config by only setting the configs in your MIN_CONFIG. The closer
9# your MIN_CONFIG is to the true minimum set of configs needed to
10# boot your machine, the closer the config you test with will be
11# to the users config that had the failure.
12#
13# The make_min_config test allows you to create a MIN_CONFIG that
14# is truly the minimum set of configs needed to boot a box.
15#
16# In this example, the final config will reside in
17# ${CONFIG_DIR}/config-new-min and ${CONFIG_DIR}/config-new-min-net.
18# Just move one to the location you have set for MIN_CONFIG.
19#
20# The first test creates a MIN_CONFIG that will be the minimum
21# configuration to boot ${MACHINE} and be able to ssh to it.
22#
23# The second test creates a MIN_CONFIG that will only boot
24# the target and most likely will not let you ssh to it. (Notice
25# how the second test uses the first test's result to continue with.
26# This is because the second test config is a subset of the first).
27#
28# The ${CONFIG_DIR}/config-skip (and -net) will hold the configs
29# that ktest.pl found would not boot the target without them set.
30# The config-new-min holds configs that ktest.pl could not test
31# directly because another config that was needed to boot the box
32# selected them. Sometimes it is possible that this file will hold
33# the true minimum configuration. You can test to see if this is
34# the case by running the boot test with BOOT_TYPE = allnoconfig and
35# setting setting the MIN_CONFIG to ${CONFIG_DIR}/config-skip. If the
36# machine still boots, then you can use the config-skip as your MIN_CONFIG.
37#
38# These tests can run for several hours (and perhaps days).
39# It's OK to kill the test with a Ctrl^C. By restarting without
40# modifying this config, ktest.pl will notice that the config-new-min(-net)
41# exists, and will use that instead as the starting point.
42# The USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG is set to 1 to keep ktest.pl from asking
43# you if you want to use the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG as the starting point.
44# By using the OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG as the starting point will allow ktest.pl to
45# start almost where it left off.
