Sl10.1 Kernel


Looking for guide in compiling 2.6.X kernel to decide which modules to have in kernel and which to have as loadable. Recently compiled 2.6.11.12 kernel and 'ls mod' only had 3 modules listed whereas 2.4.29 kernel 'lsmod' had many modules listed. How does one know which ones must be part of kernel and wc as loadable? Thanx.

Just build your kernel to suite your hardware. Modules are good for most options. You can compile everything into the kernel if you want, it doesn't really matter. Basically the more modules you have, the smaller your kernel will be, faster and more RAM you'll save when the modules aren't loaded. Though you probably wont even notice a difference. Modules are also better in the sense that they can be loaded and unloaded when ever you want.

F/up 2.6 kernel modules

thanx for response. Found more specific help at Bitbender forums. Maybe next 2.6X kernel config will work better than last.
