Strange it took almost a day before I could see my post! Guess I was
"moderated"...
Hi Mick,
Thanks for the reply. I've gone through about 4 kernel recompiles,
each time wondering with question marks over my head, sure I had
everything compiled in... I ended up adding pretty much anything
that would be related to "PCI", "USB", "PCMCIA", "SCSI"... with the
exception of the modules specific to some hardware I clearly dont
have.
I kept a copy of my .config each time, so, I will be able to study
what I changed between the 3rd and 4th recompiles.
I have to say, it was my first adventure playing around with the
kernel, and I reached a high level of frustration, impatience but the
level of my greed kept being at the top and I'd say it simply changed
my life! =)
I just find "make menuconfig" a bit confusing when searching for
things... a simple grep on Kconfigs is so much better sometimes:
`find /usr/src/linux/ -name "Kconfig" -exec grep {} -Hn -e "USB"`
Someone told it wasn't correct to edit the .config directly (most
probably because of depencies), but is it possible, at my own risk?
Thanks, Simon
