And my kernel, you mean the vmlinuz-4.10.12, is under 7G
7G eh? With almost 50 mods-builtin, my latest is 6.4MB. :-|
And its not as if I am doing any aggressive tweaking.
--- Neither am I. I just copy my config from the previous kernel and do a "make oldconfig". Occasionally I'll review things when I'm interested/have time.
Where do those numbers come from. In the interests of full disclosure, this is what i would show.
--- In the interest of not being overly technical, I only gave the numbers, but see below.... Carlos E. R. wrote:
I have 6 MB kernel + 13 MB initrd. Not 30. You get 30 when you also include the boot splash in plymouth.
---- Someone else said ~20+ for both when I talked about making my /boot 64MB. As for numbers higher than that, I was including all of the disk space for my modules ~ 22MB/kernel. Where I get my figures:
ls -1 /sys/module|wc -l 80 (all modules currently loaded) lsmod |wc -l 32
# of unloaded modules, I got via 'modprobe' and hitting <complete> in bash -- it fills in all the unloaded module names if you have the write bash-autocomplete stuff loaded. I use the one I wrote, but they have an equivalent one in the bash-autocomplete project. I pasted that into an array in bash (the paste takes up multple lines): a=(<paste>) Then printed out #of entries in array: echo ${#a[@]} An alternate way to find them (gives same number): Ishtar:/lib/modules/4.10.8-Isht-Van> find . -name \*.ko|wc -l 542 --- Which agrees *EXACTLY* with my earlier totals. I always love it when my figures add up. Of course the kernel modules in my /lib/modules<kernver> dirs are limited to loadable kernel options that are, mostly, not hardware based. As long as my kernel is built with the basic HW & file system that my OS uses to boot, all the rest of the modules can be autoloaded during the OS-bring-up. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
