working out what stuff has been compiled into kernel

TreeHugger · 11-24-2004, 07:43 AM

Hi,

I set up a linux box 18 months ago and I know I compiled some stuff into the kernel or some modules, but being me, of course I didn't document it.

I can see a couple of source code directories containing stuff like lm_sensors and alsa in the /usr/src directory. Is there anywhere else I should look to check what more I need to take into account during a kernel upgrade?

You can see the entire kernel configuration (in the form of symbols) of the running kernel in the file /proc/config.gz:

Code:

zcat /proc/config.gz | less

You can also run

Code:

make cloneconfig

to update the kernel to the current settings as far as possible.
