Hi Robert, I was one of those users who uses Systemtap, but I always build my own kernel with debug symbols enabled, so I would recommend a standard kernel version without debug symbols and if you are up to it, add another build with a -dbg.deb kernel/modules version. Regarding the other kernel modules such as pwn, spidev, snd*(no audio on base BBB), c-can, etc, why not add these to the blacklist and have users remove those from the blacklist if they want these drivers available? Regards, John
