Hi all,

Thanks for all these comments. I was thinking about a monolithic kernel,
because I'm placing my whole root fs into initramfs of the kernel image
and did not want to hassle with /lib/modules during kernel building.
Then I realized, that I still need this, because I need lirc. And now I
realized, that I don't need a monolithic kernel anymore, because I found
a solution to import /lib/modules into the initramfs by building the
kernel image again. So I will do a kernel as Dan suggested with
important stuff build in and other stuff loaded as module. But since I
stripped down my kernel, there are only a few things I will build as
modules.

Thanks
Marc
