Debian only uses it for it's kernel-images so absolutely everything (including essential stuff like your IDE driver and the ext2 driver) can be built as modules. If you're building your own kernel, then just include this essential stuff *in* your kernel. > Any help is greatly appreciated. 2.5 is still heavily under development, and you're going to get burnt if you don't read lkml or at least Kernel Traffic (http://kt.zork.net/). -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | http://www.ertius.org/ GPG keys: 1024D/1E73B7CD, 4096R/3ABDE5EC | Do I look like I want a CC?
