How to remove kernel modules

[saravanan]

Hi all,

I need to remove the kernel's module/something thet is responsible for loading extensions,
so that the kernel wont have to search for any tcz or tczl files under /opt/tce.

Actually how to edit the kernel in terms of modules disabling
also i dont want the hot plug support.

Please help.

Why?
There is nothing in /opt/tce unless you put it there.

What are you really trying to accomplish?

[saravanan]

i have merged the .tcz contents into the actual filesystem itself, so there is no need to waste time in checking for the extensions.

Even if there is no file inside /opt/tce, during boot up it  searches if there is any .tcz file.
I don't want TC kernel to do this and thus save boot up time, to be faster!!

Actually, loading the extensions after boot is often faster, if only because bootloaders are very slow at IO. YMMV.

See tce-setup and tc-config.

[spence91]

if you load the modules afterwards, don't you have to run 'depmod' for the kernel to recognise them?

that can take time.

There's some mixed terminology flying around here.

I believe OP means extensions.

OP, use the "base" boot code to avoid checking for extensions.
