Bug#257822: kernel-source-2.6.7: building with debugging symbols results in an initrd image that can't be loaded



Hi,

IMHO, mkinitrd should strip these symbols.

Something like this ..:

$ find $WHEREVER/lib/modules/*/kernel -name \*.ko -print0 | xargs -0r strip --strip-debug --remove-section =.comment --remove-section=.note --remove-section=.note.GNU-stack

=> reassign bug to mkinitrd?
