Hi guys :

I am seeing this weird issue where even though my original kernel configuration tries to build HWMON as a module, when I do 'make oldconfig', it forces HWMON to be built into the kernel. Is there anyway I can find what configuration is forcing this change? CONFIG_HWMEM is a tristate symbol.

Did you mean CONFIG_HWMON? Run make menuconfig and use / CONFIG_HWMON to find its place in config hierarchy. It should be under "Device Drivers" -> Hardware Monitoring Support. Then press "?" to find more info about CONFIG_HWMON symbol. Look for "Selected by". thanks, Daniel.
