For example, I have no idea what ohci1394 is. > If you look at the help in menuconfig, it usually tells you "the modules will be called". So find -name Kconfig | xargs grep 'called ohci1394' and then look at the Kconfig file that matches (that one is for firewire, aka 1394 or ieee1394).
Also note that although you probably have the hardware (i.e. a chipset which has a 1394 port) you weren't using it when you ran lsmod, so you might not need it. In general, the best advice is to review your hardware (e.g. use lspci), and build in everything you know you need. If desperate, or if you have problems (such as your usb problems), one possible approach (apart from the suggestions already made) is to make everything that looks perhaps-related as a module. Once you have a kernel, test it to see if you can do everything you expect to do on the host system. Udev is now reasonably good at working out what to load for the hardware that is present, but each individual version of the kernel brings new bugs. In general, if people have a modifiable host system, and it is recent enough to build the kernel you are going to use in LFS, I recommend that people do that (_without_ an initrd or initramfs) - and keep tweaking it until it works sufficiently *before* they start LFS. ĸen -- After tragedy, and farce, "OMG poneys!" -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
