 Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2004 2:30 am Post subject: deleting boot programs |
 |
|
| I installed gentoo and some things kind of bother me at startup. The first is that it starts raid and I only have one hardrive and I don't think it's necesary. The other is usbfs. I really don't think I need that. I compiled with genkernel if that makes a difference. |

to take a look at all the things that are booting, run the command
This shows a list of everything in the /etc/init.d directory and the run level it starts at. If you want to stop raid and usbfs from booting, just run | Code: | | rc-update -d command_to_remove |
as for these programs being installed, i belive genkernel by default installs a lot of things which you may not need. you may want to run | Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
and customize the kernel to your machine
hope this helps

This is my boot stuff
bootmisc | boot
bootsplash |
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
crypto-loop |
cupsd |
domainname | default
esound |
famd |
hdparm |
hostname | boot
hotplug | default
keymaps | boot
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
modules | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
netmount | default
nscd |
numlock |
portmap |
rmnologin | boot
rsyncd |
samba | default
serial | boot
sshd |
switch |
syslog-ng | default
urandom | boot
vixie-cron | default
winbind |
xdm | default
xfs |
Now I need if you don't mind what to get rid of to stop the usbfs and raid. One more thing is I would like to know what is net.lo. |

hmm..you know what, i think i pointed you in the wrong direction with this.
what is in your /etc/modules.autoload and /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel_version
the usbfs and raid are kernel modules and are probably listed in one of these files

this is /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4
# /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4: kernel modules to load when system boots.
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4,v 1.1 2003/03/09 09:06:23 azarah Exp $
#
# Note that this file is for 2.4 kernels. If you need different modules
# for a 2.5 kernel, you can create /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.5
#
# Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system
# starts into this file, one per line. Comments begin with # and
# are ignored. Read man modules.autoload for additional details.
# For example:
# 3c59x
nvidia
in my /etc/modules.d i've got three files: aliases, i386, and nvidia |
