Re: Size of a kernel module is different at build place and after installation

Hi,

Does the install software strip extra symbols from the driver?

$ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.31/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.2M 2009-09-13 03:59 
/lib/modules/2.6.31/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko

$ strip nvidia.ko

$ ls -l nvidia.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 war users 7.9M 2009-09-22 10:45 nvidia.ko

Justin.
