To achieve this, I'll start to change the i386/pae and x86-64/default configurations to build a whole raft of drivers into the kernel, which speeds up booting a _lot_ due to the async probing that it allows the kernel to do. What if built-in drivers break on specific HW?
Then we fix the problem :)
Normal /etc/modprobe.conf blacklisting won't work.
I agree, but if you look at the modules we are building in, they are all so far "common" modules that I do not think have ever been blacklisted.
You'd be surprised. Please don't underestimate the problem Thomas is pointing you at, it's very real. It doesn't mean we don't want to build these drivers in, but this means that if we do, we need a way to disable them.
Fair enough, I'll work on that.
If you decide to ignore this problem today, L3 and R&D will remind you about it on a weekly basis for the next 7 years ;)
Heh. But note, that this is not being done (yet) for a product that we provide L3 support for :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
