Please, let's STOP with the "lets remove kerneld because it has problems" thread. kerneld does have bugs, but :
The current Linux TCP drivers have problems as well, let's disable TCP too! Let's disable SMP! Let's disable ... etc ...
Look guys, for cramped machines, kerneld is a real life saver. I personally haven't had any problems with kerneld and I run with a ton of stuff as modules.
I also feel its very silly and arrogant for developers to say "forget kerneld, just add more memory and your problems will be gone". I thought the point was to make Linux usable on as wide a range of machines as possible. Now developers are saying, "well, I don't care about those people with 8mb or less, it's very simple, they should just buy more RAM."
