I don't have an ideal solution but you could probably do it this way: compile two kernel images: one with the modules you need compiled into the kernel and one with them as modules. Compile the kernel with built-in support (and no initrd) and then create an initrd for the modular kernel. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
