Powerpc kernel udebs change + floppy size



Hi Colin,

A user had problems because the amd74xx module is not included in 
ide-modules for powerpc [1]. This is at least partly due to the fact that 
the powerpc definition has its own list instead of using the kernel-wedge 
list.

Could you take a look and see if there's any reason not to just use the 
kernel-wedge lists? One reason to keep a limited list could possibly be 
the size of ide-modules for the cd-drivers floppy.
Below an overview of the current differences.

ide-modules for powerpc64 and powerpc-miboot both refer to powerpc for 
ide-modules.

One other request:
Could you take a look at the size of the net-drivers floppy (both regular 
and miboot probably)? Apparently it is too big [2].

TIA,
Frans


In powerpc, but not in kernel-wedge:
+ide-floppy   Is this one actually needed? For oldworld maybe?
+ide-tape     Seems this kan be dropped.
+sl82c105     Would probably need to be added in kernel-wedge (or
              kept in powerpc in addition to a ref to kernel-wedge).

In kernel-wedge, but not in powerpc (note: all modules in kernel-wedge are 
optional for ide-modules, so only added if available):
