Hi, In order to fit an lzma'd kernel in 892 kilobytes of flash (that's 892 * 1024 bytes), I've needed to break out a few things into modules. I'd like to commit a couple of modules - for example, ar71xx_ehci/ar71xx_ohci for USB stuff - but I don't want them built for anything other than ar71xx builds. Thus I don't see the reason for putting them in sys/modules/Makefile. They build fine if they're included in MODULES_OVERRIDE in the relevant kernel config file. So is it ok to just commit some modules in sys/modules/ which aren't in the Makefile, and instead include them in the relevant SoC kernel configs so they're built? Or is there some other tradition for doing this? Thanks, Adrianhome | help
