This is where 'make localmodconfig' does help. It can remove a lot of modules for you. And I just recently fixed a bug in the tool that it now removes even more modules (The fix is in linux-next). Also, if you are building on another box than what the kernel is for, you can go to that box and run 'lsmod > /tmp/lsmod'. Copy that file to the build machine (into /tmp/lsmod), and then run 'make LSMOD=/tmp/lsmod localmodconfig', and this will remove the modules not used by the target box. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
