882	nALFS hangs while configuring kernel in chapter 8	rodolfo@…	alfs-log@…	"During kernel config, if the kernel configuration has some unexisting symbol (in
my case SIS190), the 'make oldconfig' make some questions that should be
answered Y or N. But nALFS doesn't expect that and hangs. Here's the backtrace:

Here the last part of the log that is related to the above:
