No idea if you can do that but here are some possible alternatives : 1) increase the size of your rootfs 2) remove modules you don't need and change from modules to builtin for features or drivers that you don't need to unload/reload 3) a quick googling showed me this patch : http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org/msg271865.html However it seems to install first then compress so if that's the case, you will need to adapt it to your need 4) set INSTALL_MOD_PATH to a prefix , compress modules , then move to /lib/modules/ LOCALVERSION_AUTO is found in : make menuconfig General Setup Automatically append version information to the version string _______________________________________________ Nouveau mailing list Nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/nouveau
