Hi everyone,
I am not that firm in kernel configuration and the effect to the system
(memory usage etc.). But reading the .config file it seems there is a
lot of stuff compiled in the server kernel which is not needed?!

CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
CONFIG_KMOD=y
Does Wikipedia need to use modules? Don't know if this will give some
more speed but at least for security reasons I wouldn't use them (yes, I
am a little bit paranoic ;-)
CONFIG_ISA=y
I don't think there is an ISA card in the server?
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
Is this to change a disk on the fly? Otherwise I would not enable
hot-plugging
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
Does the server really use PCMCIA?
CONFIG_NETFILTER=y
Will the server do anything with iptables? NAT?
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y
Not useful on an AMD system
CONFIG_PIIX_TUNING=y
Dito
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET=y
As above, don't think PCMCIA is used.
Again, I am no kernel wizard, but maybe this helps giving Wikipedia even
more speed on the new server.
Regards
Thomas aka Urbanus
