For a kernel bisection, it can also be beneficial to first disable all the device drivers you don't need. It will take you a few minutes before starting the first build, but will save you a lot more than that for each subsequent build. Everything that can be disabled at the menu level is very profitable to disable: MTD, Parallel Port, NVMe, RAID/LVM, SPI, Hardware Monitoring, Watchdog Timer, Multimedia, Sound, Ultra Wideband, MMC, LED, EDAC, Userspace I/O, Virtualization, Staging Drivers, PWM, Thunderbolt, NVDIMM... As long as you know your system boots without them and it's not what you are bisecting, of course.
You can also try make localmodconfig, which does this for you.
Doh, you'd think I would know that... Thanks Michal! -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
