config PARTITION_ADVANCED
	bool "Advanced partition selection"
	help
	  Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
	  were partitioned under an operating system running on a different
	  architecture than your Linux system.

	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
	  the questions about foreign partitioning schemes.

	  If unsure, say N.

config ACORN_PARTITION
	bool "Acorn partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	help
	  Support hard disks partitioned under Acorn operating systems.

config ACORN_PARTITION_CUMANA
	bool "Cumana partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	depends on ACORN_PARTITION
	help
	  Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
	  were partitioned using the Cumana interface on Acorn machines.

config ACORN_PARTITION_EESOX
	bool "EESOX partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	depends on ACORN_PARTITION

config ACORN_PARTITION_ICS
	bool "ICS partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	depends on ACORN_PARTITION
	help
	  Say Y here if you would like to use hard disks under Linux which
	  were partitioned using the ICS interface on Acorn machines.

config ACORN_PARTITION_ADFS
	bool "Native filecore partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	depends on ACORN_PARTITION
	help
	  The Acorn Disc Filing System is the standard file system of the
	  RiscOS operating system which runs on Acorn's ARM-based Risc PC
	  systems and the Acorn Archimedes range of machines.  If you say
	  `Y' here, Linux will support disk partitions created under ADFS.

config ACORN_PARTITION_POWERTEC
	bool "PowerTec partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	depends on ACORN_PARTITION
	help
	  Support reading partition tables created on Acorn machines using
	  the PowerTec SCSI drive.

config ACORN_PARTITION_RISCIX
	bool "RISCiX partition support" if PARTITION_ADVANCED
	default y if ARCH_ACORN
	depends on ACORN_PARTITION
	help
	  Once upon a time, there was a native Unix port for the Acorn series

Implementation Notes

This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
