Can't find certain kernel flags

Hi --

I trying to recompile a 2.6.x kernel (source taken from gentoo dev), but certain specific flags that I supposedly need, I can't find (through make menuconfig).

For example, a HOW-TO for MythTV setup asks me to set the following flags on a gentoo kernel source (I have emerged the exact kernel source it uses):

Device Drivers --->
* Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
o <*> Device mapper support
+ <*> ioctl interface version 4
* Multimedia devices --->
o <M> Video For Linux
o Video For Linux --->
+ <M> BT848 Video For Linux

But the "ioctl inteface version4" and "BT848 Video For Linux" flag options do not show up in 'make menuconfig'. I looked through the kernel source, and the driver files do seem to be there... anybody know why I can't configure them? Is there something I don't understand about configuring a kernel?

Help would greatly be appreciated,
Mike Sun

mikesun,

the video for linux option you are looking for dependes on
I2C support -> Bit Banging Interfaces.
If you fail to sdelect that, the things that depend on it are hidden in menuconfig.

Use
