[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.

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.

you said we will loose some relevant firmware information. Why is that the case ? does one firmware load the other ?
Yes, that's indeed the case. :-( -- 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.

btw: the 3 files in #5 _are_ part of the modinfo kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.ko of 2.6.38 (factory)
Could be. I verified with kernel and kernel-firmware package of openSUSE 11.4. -- 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.
