Ok. Did you leave both kernels in you lilo.conf?
I'm also a bit confused by:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-kernel.en.html#s-kernel-net
That's been my biggest question -- I'm not clear about what I need to do differently for the "modularized" kernel. The other question that's been bugging me is how I can have one /etc/modules that works for two different kernels.
Thanks again for all the help! My boss has been keeping me from the more important tasks of trying to get this kernel built today. Geeze!
