You built support into the kernel (y), rather than as a module. That's fine if you want it that way, but then you don't need the correpsonding entry in /etc/modprobe.conf.

OK thanks i understand this now - previously i have done a make menuconfig but this time i just edited the .config file as i was advised to do it that way.

Using just the .config if i want to build something as a module rather than into the kernel when it comes to that section of the .config file do i just

CONFIG_FUSION=n

for example?

I think you mean m, not n.

I have learnt the hard way that there are many scripts in a redhat system that break if you try to compile code as built-in, but RH initially compiled it as a module.

The mkinitrd script has a few options for modules vs built-in, but
they are of limited flexibiity.
