For many devices, modules now autoload correctly without any special action on recent systems (I think udev does most of the work). Not sure if that applies to your particular sound card. It's easy enough for you to try that, either in a special build, or when you next upgrade your kernel. But, running a modular kernel is one thing. Building a "distro" kernel to suit more than one machine is something else entirely (e.g. you will need to ensure that your decision on what sort of processor you are building for is appropriate to all your machines). ĸen -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
