problem with modules. So I installed the 2.4.22 source package, used the
2.4.22-1-686-smp .config, changed CONFIG_IDE to y, built and rebooted.
My sound card works with no fuss, which confuses me since CONFIG_IDE is
the only change I made. But I still have to load ide-detect manually to
access my IDE drives. I never did get it to work with the
add "ide-detect" in /etc/modules and run an "update-modules"
afterwards (you can also do a modconf and add the required modules)
forgot to ask about that, does modconf just edit /etc/modules or does it
edit /etc/modutils/* too?
2.4.22-1-686-smp package, will try again tonight now that I know which
module to load.
What is the correct way to configure this to load at boot? I have initrd
images (for both the official package and the one I built with
kernel-package) I made by hand for each kernel. I noticed in some older
threads on this list people talking about files in /initrd determining
what initrd loads, or do they determine what modules go into an initrd
image? Either way, I have no files in /initrd. Am I missing a package?
I'd much prefer to stick with the provided binary kernel packages.
Is there an up to date document I could look at (everything I've seen is
about stable and/or is 2-3 years old) about the module config files
layout? Like, what are the differences in /etc/modu* and /etc/modp*?
