Don, I'm trying compile a F14 2.3.37-2 kernel with some support for old hardware. I'm trying to re-enable CONFIG_ISA and a few old ethernet cards such as CONFIG_EL2. Putting them into config-local doesn't seem to be turning them back on.
Do you know what dependency I might have missed?
I would need to see your .config to see what you are doing wrong, but it works for me over here. CONFIG_ISA seems to be enabled by default on Fedora in the git tree so you shouldn't have to do anything there.
Cheers, Don

CONFIG_ISA is entirely hidden on x86_64 these days.
Excerpt from arch/x86/Kconfig:
... # x86_64 have no ISA slots, but do have ISA-style DMA. config ISA_DMA_API def_bool y
if X86_32
config ISA bool "ISA support" ---help--- Find out whether you have ISA slots on your motherboard. ISA is the name of a bus system, i.e. the way the CPU talks to the other stuff inside your box. Other bus systems are PCI, EISA, MicroChannel (MCA) or VESA. ISA is an older system, now being displaced by PCI; newer boards don't support it. If you have ISA, say Y, otherwise N.
... endif # X86_32

I figured it out.
On my x86_64 system, I had to expressly say "--target=i686" for my rpmbuild. I think x86_64 by _assumption_ cannot have an ISA bus, so it forces CONFIG_ISA to false.
Oddly, my Adek MB-P4BWA motherboard with Q6600 Core 2 Quadcore is an (admittedly rare) x86_64 system with two ISA slots.....
And why would you ever need more that 640k memory in a computer? :-)

config-local was added after the branch to 2.6.37-git$x, ttbomk.
