slide 1 - the capitalization of Kernel, Driver and Hardware is a bit jarring. Same thing for all other slides. slide 2 - the kernel can be compiled entirely monolithic (no modules) slide 8 - mention what 'c' and 'b' stand for - explain why we have major and minors? slide 10 - mention that for the user, the distrinction between character and block devices is irrelevant? it's only the driver that cares (different kernel APIs) slide 11 - 2.6 disables module unloading (by default?) slide 13 - mention /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build? slide 16 - mention that module options can also be passed on the insmod/modprobe command line? - mention how to find which modules options a driver supports? (modinfo, source) Overall, excellent talk! see you on Monday.
