Ouch. Was there specific bloat that happened after 2.4.13? After doing a preliminary look over the kernel code, much of the bloat seems to be in the filesystem code...
the dentry cache was not a cheap date. But the bloat seems to happen everywhere, which is why it's so hard to slice out.
BTW, if you guys don't have serial console stuff yet (IIRC last I checked, there was no CLI for linuxbios - things may have changed since then, I've been rather out of the loop recently), we're working on extensible CLI stuff for ARM Linux As Bootloader that would probably be portable to LinuxBIOS.
I'm interested. I assume this CLI is running as part of linux? Or is it the pre-linux stuff?
This looks like a good area for cooperation.
