Please don't suggest that, it is counter productive. Having the debian kernel build all modules is fine, we just need to find a way of more selectively selecting what modules are loaded or not. Saddly, the mess of mkinitrd's init script, both discovers and now hotplug also playing in is a mess, and makes it more difficult. Friendly, Sven Luther
