Thanks to Gustavo for informing me to skip the cdrom_modules section. But I have done something foolish. After 2.2 prompted me to reboot the system )I have done something kompletely wrong: I had forgotten the bootsequence A,cdrom,hda and not noticing the same questions as before - answered them up to the point where to choose the appropiate partitions. I guess the routine had written some files to hdd because aborting and rebooting failed after mounting root in a kernel panic with the message "no init found Try passing init= option to kernel".
Have I destroyed the former configuration, is there anything to rescue? Besides, cannot remeber exactly, but before choosing the modules, the install procedure prompted me to choose the network card out of a list. Does this mean that the driver is directly build into the kernel? Or did the kernel just wanted to know there is a NIC? Last week I made the experience in compiling a 2.0.38 kernel, the first time ever. make Xconfig prompted me first to choose network support, then network options and then wether the NIC has to be built into the kernel or just compile it as a module. So this seems to be slightly different from the procedure installing Debian 2.2. In the past I had heard that network stuff should rather be build into the kernel directly. Robert
