I was just wondering about what size everybody's newly compiled 2.6 kernel is :) mine is right at 1,383kb, with everything compiled in; I remember this post being done a while ago for the 2.4 kernel, but I was just wondering what everyone elses 2.6 kernel is currently at!

1162711 bytes according to "ls -l". That's with a lot of stuff compiled in, too, but not everything.

2.4.23 was 837236 bytes. Not sure about the difference... though it probably has a bit to do with ACPI (I never included that in my 2.4 kernels).

1.5MB. Not too bad, but I've got some stuff I don't need, like vfat and ACPI. I might take it down in the next few days, I'm not sure. :P

My Gentoo is 2,211,507 with everything built in.

Now if I can figure out why Gentoo keeps locking up. I did it, just don't know what I did yet. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Later

:D :D :D

I got 2.6.0 compiled on my main desktop, including ACPI. Total size was a hair under 1MB.

:D

You can really cut some fat from your 2.6 kernel by going to General Setup > Remove kernel features and removing stuff you don't need. I took out kernel symbols and the no-op and deadline scheduler.

Probably true. Be careful though -- don't remove "fast userspace mutex (futex) support". Futexes are required for NPTL, the new Linux POSIX thread support. :)
