Hi, I am recompiling the 2.6.5-1.358 kernel from the patched source, using gcc 3.3 on Fedora Core2 I have made no more than two modifications to the .config (to enable NFS_ROOT and DEVFS). The resulting module object files are enormous. For example, the orginal £com driver as installed: drwxr--r-- 1 root root 40100 May 8 14:46 kernel/drivers/net/3c59x.ko And the same file as compiled: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 271889 Jun 4 14:16 drivers/net/3c59x.ko All the .ko are like this, increasing the size of /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358 from c. 58MB to 337MB The files are not stripped, in either case. Am I doing something wrong here? Anyone got any ideas?
