[Bug 681234] New: Live CDs increased 13MB due to firmware
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681234 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681234#c0 Summary: Live CDs increased 13MB due to firmware Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: coolo@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- the new kiwi version added - rather out of the blue - 13MB worth of "kernel-firmware" to the live cd. I'm sure that there are some interestring firmwares, but I think a white list would be more appropriate. E.g. I see no value in having support for wlan cards and sound cards in kiwi initrd. For most things there aren't even modules in the initrd. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But I agree it's not such a good solution. Stefan can you please confirm that the X requirement would still be complied if I remove all parts of kernel-firmware which doesn't match the name "firmware" in its modinfo information ?

So I need a way to find out the relevant graphics related firmware. If that's not possible I will remove the kernel-firmware again and leave it up to the author of the image description to add kernel-firmware if required: <package name="kernel-firmware" bootinclude="true"/> Stefan ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hmm, kernel-firmware installs everything to /lib/firmware, and those files also doesn't look like kernel modules files which you can run modinfo on. So I need a way to find out the relevant graphics related firmware.
Coolo's idea was to figure out, which firmware files are necessary by running find . -name *.ko | xargs modinfo | grep firmware on the kernel modules of the kernel package. Then match this list to the ones of kernel-firmware package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
