[PATCH] kdump: enable CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE by default

From: Vivek Goyal
Date: Fri Apr 07 2006 - 13:57:22 EST




o Everybody seems to be using /proc/vmcore as a method to access the kernel
crash dump. Hence probably it makes sense to enable CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE by
default if CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is selected. This makes kdump configuration
further easier for a user.
