How about just grepping for them under /lib/modules/version? In my case |
| 8 |
it would be *.ko.xz. Note that won't tell you about anything built in |
| 9 |
to the kernal you might want to remove. Otherwise, it's just a slow |
| 10 |
slog through make xconfig or make menuconfig. I suppose you could also |
| 11 |
grep through the kernel's .config file (or /proc/sys/config.gz) for |
| 12 |
"=m". In both cases, you probably still need to search to figure out |
| 13 |
where in the configuration that gets set. |
