huge amount of unsed kernel modules.
Hi,
I installed the 2.4.22-1-k7 kernel image. I had the 2.4bf kernel and now
I find that a huge amount of kernel modules are bing loaded. I
understand that the new kernel probably has more things compiled as
modules than the 2.4bf but there are heaps of modules that are unused.
/etc/modules:
af_packet
8139too
#sound
es1371
apm
ide-scsi
Here is the output of lsmod:
