I would also be interested in this. For instance the AIC7xxx driver has every PCI id in the module I think in the .modinfo section which is not truely required once depmod has been run. I wanted to strip out this information so that modules would be smaller. I had stripped this section out in testing a floppy boot and then most modules would not load anymore. -- Lab tests show that use of micro$oft causes cancer in lab animals - 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/
