I was far from clear in my message, for which a thousand pardons, but
I double- and triple- checked to be sure that the scsi support was
not, any of it, in a module. "y", not "M".
I suppose some other needed vital support of some sort other than scsi
might have been placed by me in a module that compact builds in, but
the whole thing is moot until I try again, because I:
a. upgraded to testing, and
b. apt-getted the 686 smp 2.4.16 kernel deb, so
c. /proc/cpuinfo shows both PPro's humming away!
At some point I will take another run at building a custom kernel, but
since we are now in initrd territory, if I have problems, they won't
be of the 'built-in vs. module' variety. (I should file that last
claim under "Famous Last Words," no?)

I am not a looney! Why should I be attired with the epithet looney
merely because I have a pet halibut? I've heard tell that Marcel
Proust had an addock! So, if you're calling the author of 'A la
recherche du temps perdu' a looney, I shall have to ask you to
step outside!
