diald and kernel problems

["G. Crimp" <ye416@freenet.victoria.bc.ca>]

Hi, 

	I trying to set up diald.  I had to recompile my kernel to enable
slip support.  I made it a module.  I did 

	make mrproper, 
	make config, 
	make dep, 
	make clean, 
	make zImage, 
	make modules, 
	make modules-install.  

It looked to me as though they all terminated normally.  I can boot from the
new kernel no problems.  The boot up messages tell me that diald is being
started.  However, `ps -ax | grep diald' reveals nothing. 
/var/log/daemon.log tells me:

	Sep 13 02:55:46 
	   modprobe: no dependency information for module: 
	   "/lib/modules/2.0.30/net/slip.o"

In /var/log/messages:

	Sep 13 02:55:47  
	   diald[112]: SLIP not supported by kernel, can't build proxy.
	   diald[112]: Diald is dieing with code 1

I don't know if this is pertinent, but in /var/log/degub...

	Sep 13 02:42:10 
	    kernel: Max size:324376   Log zone size:2048
	    kernel: First datazone:28 Root inode number
	    57344

/var/log/diald is empty.	

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong with SLIP ?  Here's the configure
details from /usr/src/linux/.config:

	# Network device support
	#
	CONFIG_NETDEVICES=y
	CONFIG_DUMMY=m
	# CONFIG_EQUALIZER is not set
	CONFIG_PLIP=m
	CONFIG_PPP=m

	#
	# CCP compressors for PPP are only built as modules.
	#
	CONFIG_SLIP=m
	CONFIG_SLIP_COMPRESSED=y
	# CONFIG_SLIP_SMART is not set
	# CONFIG_SLIP_MODE_SLIP6 is not set


Thanks,

Gerald
