Hi to all, please I would want to start some discussion about possibility to have more states for kernel modules in config.
Now it is possible to: CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-dm=n (no support at all) or CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-dm=y (supported as module, which is automaticaly installed to root, loaded automaticaly from init) or CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-dm=m (supported as external package) Maybe it would be great to add CONFIG_PACKAGE_kmod-dm=M or something else to include module directly INTO kernel. Now, it can be made only by hacking or adding some platform. But for x86 platforms, there can be realy plenty of configurations. I think, especialy for x86, this could ease complexity of adding new boards and make buildtree more flexible. For example, if we have some board where we need some kind of sata driver, there is no chance to make openwrt working without make kernel_config. But if buildroot knows option to embed module directly into kernel image, it could be done much more easily. Thanx to all, Lukas Macura _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
