[correction: meant CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD, because CONFIG_MD itself does not generate any code] So just because almost everyone needs CONFIG_SCSI (SATA, usb_storage, you name it), you're going to compile that in as well? It's just another 180 KB [BLK_DEV_MD: ~100K] so let's compile it in! There is a reason initramfs exists, and it's not only for firmware loading or running custom scripts. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
