Hi all Another question on kernel building - is there a way that a kernel can be built in which all the network devices are present but disabled, so that on the first boot with that kernel none of them are probed? Yes, I know that I could build a kernel, boot with -c and disable the devices, and the resulting kernel would be what I want, but I would like to be able to do this without having to boot the kernel, so that I can have a Makefile that will build several kernels, each of which will have the NIC drivers disabled, without having to go through multiple reboots each time to do the disabling.
