Hello,
I've just got lucky and found this little typo under "Power management
and ACPI options" ---> "ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) Support":
hArdware Error Device

Here is my fix:
Hardware Error Device
:)

BTW, first time I've used nconfig instead of menuconfig. And I like it.

probably should create a patch, and send it to trivial(a)kernel.org

Sure, but I don't know which script generates that part of config and
.... how to do the patch :| (Sorry, I'm not even a greenhorn on the
programming field).
Just cc-eding trivial(a)kernel.org for now ..

That's alright.. I'm still a newbie over here...

read Documentation/SubmittingPatches

there the instructions on how to create a perfect patch is there.
then when done make sure you use scripts/checkpatch to check you patch
then when all good use scripts/getmaintainer.pl to find the appropriate
people to send it too.

and voila you'll be sending patches to the kernel like there's no
tomorrow...

The capital "A" is nconfigs way to tell you that you can use
"a" as shortcut to reach the menu.
