Each section has a 4096 alignment requirement, but they are 4096bytes sized too, so it should not be a problem. I have attached the "readelf -Sl" output of each kernel. 1- Original kernel: 2396464 bytes 2- Partitioned kernel: 2144924 bytes 3- Stripped kernel: 2143660 bytes > Possibly the kernel is already frugal with the symbols and debug > information it exports and there is nothing to strip. The sections I want to strip only contain code (initially located in the .text section). The debug sections are already stripped in standard kernels. -- Javier Cabezas RodrÃguez Phd.
