Also found not to cut 'n' paste from nano in X. It doesn't perserve tabs... so the patch was bum anyway. I only found out it was fubar when I was looking at what Matt done to get the struct sizes on different vmlinuz builds, and cut and paste back into a file from the mail. But here is the results anyway using my .config but with the option off and on: Orig (off): bash-2.05b# nm -t d -rS --size-sort linux-2.6.12orig/vmlinux | grep hwifs 0000003225966208 0000000000014080 B ide_hwifs With the IDE selection option (but not EMBEDDED) with 2 IDE interfaces selected (on with 2): bash-2.05b# nm -t d -rS --size-sort linux-2.6.12/vmlinux | grep hwifs 0000003225974400 0000000000002816 B ide_hwifs Nick -- "When you're chewing on life's gristle, Don't grumble, Give a whistle..." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
