Description:
Is there a particular reason not to compile the partition support for more partitions.
I have come across a Sun Solaris x86 (external) hard drive and cannot mount it because the partition type for Solaris x86 partitions is not compiled in. It seems kind of arbitrary to leave out some while taking others.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kernel26 2.6.23
* config and/or log files etc.

From the kconfig26:
#
# Partition Types
#
CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED=y
# CONFIG_ACORN_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_OSF_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_AMIGA_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_ATARI_PARTITION is not set
CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL=y
# CONFIG_MINIX_SUBPARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL is not set
# CONFIG_LDM_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_ULTRIX_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION is not set
# CONFIG_KARMA_PARTITION is not set
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y
# CONFIG_SYSV68_PARTITION is not set

Steps to reproduce:
Try to mount a Solaris x86 partition. Will not work because the slices are not seen :(((

Please consider compiling this stuff in if it does not significantly affect size (which I doubt it will).
