If the issue is the initramfs size then you're actually helping that issue by building it into the kernel vs. having it sitting in the initramfs as a module. Right? Either way, 460k/150k isn't even a drop in the bucket towards the issues the F15 initramfs has in ppc/ppc64. It's on the order of 100MB too big, not 100k. That's why F16 with the hopefully reworked anaconda/initramfs setup is the first target for ppc to make it's comeback. josh _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
