Re: Possible to build-in backports modules into kernel

Hi there,

thanks for your comments and the link. I skip that before as I thought it's actually for
backports developers, not users. I'll read it more carefully.

I'm stack with very old kernel (2.6.37 for arm TI's DM365). No pre-built kernel , I've
built the kernel as well, everything is working nice. But as I use embedded device, it
would be nice to have the drivers build-in (performance).

For some of modules I get message: "This feature depends on another which has been
configured as a module. As a result, this feature will be built as a module.". I'll try to
find the dependency, but is there any hint, how to search?

Thanks a lot for backports, it helped me already :-).

Kind regards,
Petr
