As discussed with pitti and NCommander, the benefits of making them built-in are:
1) to improve the boot performance a bit by avoiding modprobe these two modules
2) to avoid the nasty hacks to the /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d as these two modules doesn't support modalias and cannot be automatically loaded on demand
The options to galcore.ko need to be considered though:
options galcore registerMemBase=0xf1840000 irqLine=48 contiguousBase=0x8000000 contiguousSize=0x2000000
And since these are two modules normally always required for the dove kernel image, it's generally a good idea to get it built-in. The galcore doesn't support that, so have to hack into the Makefile for that. |
