i, i'm having a problem using make-kpkg to build kernel packages on my laptop, which runs ubuntu feisty and currently has make-kpkg version 10.065ubuntu4. this happens with upstream, debian, and ubuntu sources, as far as I can tell, but most of my experimentation has been with ubuntu's linux-source package. has anyone ever heard of anything like this? the vmlinuz produced by the package is of normal size, but the initrd is huge -- 43 megs! -- and /lib/modules/kernel-version-number/ is on the order of 530 megs!!!
obviously a half-gig-sized kernel package is not optimal, i'd very much like to figure out what's going on here... also i should say that the after the build process, the source directory becomes enormous -- 2.7 gigs with ubuntu's 2.6.20 as opposed to a more restrained 700megs back in the old days. so, if anyone's seen anything like this before... please let mek now! thanks, matt -- Matt Price History Dept University of Toronto [EMAIL PROTECTED]
