SCSI kernel with builtin-in scsi_mod sd_mod and aic7xxx, 2.4.31

It is 90K larger than a kernel with modular scsi support, and it has worked for me with ext2 BL3 and BL2.

I can compile a small 2.2.16 kernel specific to the scsi computer once it can be made to work with some other kernel. Or does the computer have USB?


The three individual modules are 83K 16K 163K (adds to about double 260K, not 90K). So adding aic7xxx would make the BL3 big kernel maybe 60K larger. Removing scsi_mod and sd would shrink it only about 30K, but there is not much point in including them since they don't work without a scsi controller driver.

How about a BL3 'medium' kernel with scsi support only as modules, and a 'scsi' one with scsi_mod, sd_mod, and aic7xxx built-in (which would be about 90K larger)?

Maybe Slackware included sg and sr_mod to boot from SCSI cdrom drive?
