You can disable some hardware using the device.hints file, but that won't disable the code in the kernel, just keep it from attaching to the hardware. There is a version of the kernel, called MINIMAL, that moves as much as possible out of GENERIC, and uses the 'devmatch' tool to load the drivers f= or all of the hardware that is detected on your system. With some more polish, this could replace GENERIC and achieve your goal. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
