I am using Emacs 25.3 on Mac and when I try to open some linux kernel code, the behavior is different as below:

  1. I cannot simply open a C file, but I am prompted for arch each time.
  2. Occasionally, emacs tries to 'parse' all the include files (I can see in the minibuf). Plus, when I use Tramp, this takes even longer and emacs is as good as hanged.

Looks like it is the linux development environment that is causing this, but when I try to disable through 'M-x global-ede-mode', EDE is actually getting enabled (I see that it writes an ede-projects.el file).

I simply want to open and edit files, and will use other tools for build and config. Any help is appreciated.

The messages after choosing the file are -

'Select Linux' build directory', and 'Select target architecture'.

    What exactly is the prompt when "prompted for arch"? What happens if you invoke emacs without any of your customizations with emacs -q? If that solves it, then one of your customizations is the culprit. – NickD Sep 16 '18 at 00:16
  • But did you try with emacs -q? I don't recognize these messages, so I suspect it's some package that you load that causes this. – NickD Sep 19 '18 at 12:14
