This is why I miss RedHat. I don't want to spend my time customizing |
| 16 |
a kernel then spending more time with trial and error getting just the |
| 17 |
kernel I need. RedHat has a system in place that installs a minimal |
| 18 |
kernal and then loads almost everything else as modules. Genkernel almost |
| 19 |
does what I want but it is always a struggle. The base system always |
| 20 |
loads all the different disk drivers and does not unload the unused ones. |
| 21 |
Is anyone working on a more RedHat like kernel/modules/runtime loading |
| 22 |
system? It would eliminate the problem the original poster had and save |
| 23 |
lots of time for the rest of us. |
