isn't there a parameter which allows you to select the modules that go into an initrd? hmmm.... /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf - modules=most also it looks like you can specify COMPRESS=xz which, assuming you've enabled xz compression in the linux kernel, would give you a bit more space. also are you using busybox? again, that would likely save some space, esp. if you compiled it specially and *only* with the actual functions you need. send a link to a file online where the list of files is, in the initrd - it will help check what's going on here. .... but, just for a laugh please do tell me the size of the kernel you've got. i remember doing 2.4.24 kernels and they were only 600k. we converted to 2.6.8 or thereabouts and that *immediately* shot up to 900k (exactly the same config options). hilarious. not. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
