Don't follow this advice. The thought is good (having the proper stuff compiled into the kernel], but the advice is bad. *Don't* compile the stuff needed to access your primary hard disk as a module or your system won't boot. The stuff must be compiled directly into the kernel. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 08:25:01 up 69 days, 17:49, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.37, 0.53 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
