Actually, a check revealed that a lot of things were being compiled as modules, even
though I wasn't choosing them to be.
I changed tactics and did "make distclean : make menuconfig : make dep : make bzImage
: make install" and unselected the ability for the kernel to load modules during
menuconfig. It recompiled, loaded and ran fine. However, the sound will not now work:
I usually load sound as a module since it always worked for me that way, but not
compiled in the kernel.
I will now attempt to recompile with module support enabled for sound, but will hand
edit the .config file to remove references to modules that I did not select. Then
we'll see what happens.
At least now I know that the installation isn't broken.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hoyt
