In 2.6.0-test5, the help text for choice options (eg. processor type,
highmem) is not shown in either menuconfig or oldconfig. It does work
in gconfig, however. Don't know when it last worked.


Try the patch below, the main help should be with the choice. This patch is only an example, someone else should verify the correct wording.
BTW you can reach the individual help within 'make config' by appending a '?' to the number (e.g. '1?').


What I am seeing is the help text for the whole choice thingy is used as
the help text for the individual choices. This patch doesn't fix that.
How is it supposed to work? I assume you tried it and saw what it was
doing, so am I just mistaken in how I think it should work?
