Linux kernel 2.6.8 on m68k. CONFIG_PCI_NAMES: By default, the kernel contains a database of all known PCI device names to make the information in /proc/pci, /proc/ioports and similar files comprehensible to the user. This database increases size of the kernel image by about 80KB. This memory is freed after the system boots up if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is not set. Anyway, if you are building an installation floppy or kernel for an embedded system where kernel image size really matters, you can disable this feature and you'll get device ID numbers instead of names. When in doubt, say Y. See this item in context Full configuration for 2.6.8 on m68k Home   Search
