Subject: [PATCH] unnecessary SCSI module
Date: Mon, 09 Mar 2009 20:06:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <49b5689f@wupperonline.de> (raw)
When configuring MODULES with the kernel to be able to load external drivers
coming as modules, but not using anything as module in the kernel itself, one
would expect to end up in a module-free kernel. Currently, you don't if you
use SCSI. You'll get one unnecessary module.
Please consider the attached patch.
