It's not listed in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt and in http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=init/Kconfig CONFIG_KMOD is described as implied by CONFIG_MODULES > What about just not installing oss-compat when you don't like to have > the OSS-emu modules loaded? I need OSS for one application that I use hardly ever (squaroid). Of course I can remove oss-compat and modprobe *oss manually or live with OSS loaded (but then problems like #315455 and #499695 arise). >> This approach won't reintroduce #315455 and #499695. > > It would.
