Hi Lee, So, when I do a dpkg -i kernel_image, would this allowed me to install the modules one by one or it would just install all the modules that I configure to build before rebuilding the kernel?
Secondly, when I installed the module during the fresh installation, I selected a several modules and the system would prompt me for some command line options to the modules that I selected, what are the available options? I believe at the same time, it also display some warning message about unavailable of some document... Thanks!
