Hi, I have a question here on the sizes of the modules. eg: for the default FC2's kernel (2.6.6-1.435) vs the new vanilla kernel.org's 2.6.7 kernel ls -lgGh /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/kernel/fs/nls -rwxr--r-- 1 2.9K Jun 14 07:04 nls_koi8-ru.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 6.2K Jun 14 07:04 nls_koi8-u.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 2.8K Jun 14 07:04 nls_utf8.ko ls -lgGh /lib/modules/2.6.7-2.jun25/kernel/fs/nls -rw-r--r-- 1 101K Jun 25 16:54 nls_koi8-ru.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 105K Jun 25 16:54 nls_koi8-u.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 101K Jun 25 16:54 nls_utf8.ko This causes my modules directory to be a whopping 300MB in size. using redhat's supplied config file still gives me that. What's happening? as an aside, I'm using reiserfs on my / directory. compiling my own kernel has been a nightmare. I tried to use my old 2.6.3 kernel config file (from RH9) and I get a kernel panic related to XFS:SB validate failed etc.. (doesn't happen when I use fedora's config - which incidently includes _a_ lot of unneeded modules!) I've checked, the initrd image contains the reiserfs.ko module. Even if I compile _all_ the fs into the kernel, this still happens! Anyone has any idea on why this is happening? module dependencies?? I know it's not my XFS (/home) partition, since I can use it just fine now. /help --
