Today I run out if diskpscae when building a KOTD with "default" configuration from sources. I found that the build now nees 3.5G disk space. the same build of 2.6.27.7-9 only needs 888M.

Is that change intended ?
Very likely you build with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO and didn't stripped the .debuginfo sections from all the kernel modules. In the buildservice and in the shipped product we strip this debuginfo into "debug"-subpackages (debuginfo, debugsource). On doubt just run: # objdump -h /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/sound/soundcore.ko | grep debug_info If you don't plan to use kdb, crash, lcrash, systemtap, gdb, ... or so then you might want to build with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=n Or you can look into "objcopy" how to strip manually the debuginfo sections. best regards, Daniel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
