Afternoon all,
Is there a straightforward way of listing kernel modules that exist but
haven't been loaded? I'm sure I have quite a number that I don't need, and I'd
like to remove them from the kernel config.
How about just grepping for them under /lib/modules/version? In my case
it would be *.ko.xz. Note that won't tell you about anything built in
to the kernal you might want to remove. Otherwise, it's just a slow
slog through make xconfig or make menuconfig. I suppose you could also
grep through the kernel's .config file (or /proc/sys/config.gz) for
"=m". In both cases, you probably still need to search to figure out
where in the configuration that gets set.
