What has to be done is to only load those drivers that are really required. Have a look at the insmod.sh script that comes in $DVBDIR, and remove all unneeded drivers from the "start" stage in the script. Other methods like using the kernel module loader sound technically superior to me, but it might be not that easy for you, and the outcome (and boot time) is probably the same. --Stefan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
