Ok, a few generic questions though. Does it matter if some modules are
in several modules-udeb ? I hope not (and I don't see why it would cause
problem as long as they are the same in the different udeb) because I
guess it'll be difficult to avoid this if all dependent modules are
automatically included.
I propose this (feel free to comment the others) :
cdrom-modules-<kver>-udeb
. all modules that are in kernel/driver/cdrom/ :
aztcd.o cdu31a.o gscd.o mcd.o optcd.o sjcd.o
cdrom.o cm206.o isp16.o mcdx.o sbpcd.o sonycd535.o
. ide-cd
. isofs
scsi-modules-<kver>-udeb
. all modules from kernel/driver/scsi
The modules-scsi-udeb may well be a bit large for us. For CDROM access, I
could remove sd_mod, st and sg. But that's save no more than 60k on 2,1M
(actual size of the directory). So it's not really worth it, this way the
scsi udeb can be used for other installation method eventually.
BTW, I see that none of the modules are stripped by default. That should
be done automatically for udeb.
strip -R .comment -R .note, it saves about 500k on the scsi directory.
(eventually I heard that compiling them with -Os could help too but that'd
need more work for you Herbert)
