    Hi,

    I just installed kernel-image-2.4.22-1-686 (I am running sid), which
    boots using initrd. Thus, after booting, lsmod shows a lot of unused
    modules. I'd like to know which is the clean way (even the
    Debian-specific one, if it exists) on configuring the booting
    procedure so it loads only the modules needed by my system.

    I have checked initrd.txt from Linux source Documentarion directory,
    and "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". :)

    Any feedback will be very useful, so thanks in advance.

    Regards, Ismael
