I am sure that there are many different ideas on this topic, and would like to here people's thoughts. When compiling kernels, I can compile many things into the kernel. But I often have the option to compile many things as a module. What are the pros and cons of compiling things as

Re: kernel-compiling, when should components be compiled as modules?

2001-04-02 Thread Jimmy Richards
Hi Bryan, The main advantage is the when you compile something as a module it does not take up any memory unless it gets loaded by the kernel. If you compile something into the kernel then it gets loaded into memory as part of the kernel since it is part of the kernel. For instance,

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for your email. Therefore, is it generally safe to compile everything as a module (given that the option exists)? Thanks, Bryan On Mon, Apr 02, 2001 at 02:43:52PM -0600, Jimmy Richards wrote: Hi Bryan, The main advantage is the when you compile something as a

You need to compile in any capabilities required for boot. For example, if you have a SCSI only system, the appropriate SCSI capabilities need to be compiled into the kernel. Other capabilities you might want to compile in are items that you know the kernel will be using. For example, if you

I got the source, I've read some of the kernel documentation, now its time to compile this thing. I've got a few questions though. Currently I'm running Debian 2.2 with Helix Gnome and XFree86-4.0.2. I'm running this self-modified distro on a Asus K7M mobo with an Athlon 550Mhz cpu/128MB of RAM.

Hi Stefan, Quoth Stefan Srdic, My goal is to compile a kernel which performs greatly but is also very small with only the basic requirements compiled into the kernel and everything else compiled as modules. Sometimes the way the system is set up makes it a little redundant to compile things

What is the debian way of compiling a kernel ?? I've read mentions of using something like kernel-pkg or similar. Can someone point to a website with details ?? Or, can I simply download the kernel source and do it the way I've always done it with lesser distros ;-) ?? Thanks in advance Hall

Is this part of kernel-package ?? I just looked at it in aptitude and it does appear so. Reason I want to recompile is that vmlinuz is over 1mb in size, so it apparently has a lot compiled in, instead of modules. My older, customer kernels were usually less than 500k. I see on bootup, or via

Correct. Install kernel-package and take a look at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz. There is a recommendation there to use an epoch when creating your package, which will prevent it from being overwritten during an upgrade. For your question regarding CD-Writing, I would recommend that

Jonathan, I think you should be fine with gcc 2.95.2 but maybe you'd be safer with 2.91.66 if you can get it as easily. You should know, though, that I'm not at all an expert in these areas. The only time I've recompiled my kernel was linux-2.2.17pre20 using gcc 2.95.2 on my only non-Debian box
