The x86 initrd is less than 3.5Mb and it's compiled that way. I'm talking about a more modularized .config file so you can use make-kpkg as always. With that setup you have a kernel that will only load what you need and will let you boot from USB, FireWire, IDE or SCSI just like MacOSX without add all those buses inside kernel. > > > That option is one thing I'm missing from x86 kernel images on powerpc. > > > > Also, a package like kernel-build-* will be really useful to compile > > modules if you have a prepackaged kernel like yours. > > Mmm, effectively, that would be usefull, i was not aware that something > such existed, i will be looking into it.
