To find what you have compiled as a loadable module (rather than built in the kernel) have a look at this: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap4 You can also select <help> when you are running --menuconfig, it usually shows the correct syntax of the corresponding module name. -- Regards, Mick
