You need to statically include the modules for your hardware (i.e. not build them as separately loadable modules) if you're not using initrd, which is the recommended method. Dave Phillips wrote a reasonably clear explanation of how to create an initrd from a similar situation, you'll have to trawl the a-user list archives to find this. I don't have it to hand. -- cheers, tim hall http://glastonburymusic.org.uk/tim We are the people We've been waiting for.
