However, rebooting is not a huge pain here as I test each new patch in the cpu scheduler contest, the biggest pita is the reinstall of the nvidia.ko driver each time I switch to a freshly built kernel. But, I just tried something, if the module is striped, all diff that cmp can detect are gone, so my next experiment is to see if it will run with a reboot to the currently running kernel, after that module has been striped. If so, then I have a script that will handle that chore already written. Well, rebooted now, no change to the kmenu once x is started. And the idea to bypass the lengthy install of the nvidia.ko module was un-ceremoniously booted out the door, it seems that modprobe cannot load a stripped module.
