[16:27] <aiena> Hi I am just starting to learn kernel driver development.
[16:28] <aiena> I built a 5.0 kernel from kernel.org with the ubuntu .config file and the modules along with a test module I made.
[16:29] <aiena> I was following a talk from 2005 at the linux australia conference where one Rusty talks about driver development. There he uses a debian image file without drivers and kernel for QEMU but with the rest of the basic linux system in it.
[16:30] <aiena> I had resized this debian image file system so that I can install the built modules into it to run with the compiled kernel 
[16:31] <aiena> when I do `make INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/mnt/qemu modules_install` it seems to install modules from previous kernels too into the image
[16:31] <aiena> is this normal my image is 1GB but runs out of space because of this
