Re: adding modules to kernel

The lever here is the clean is the "do_clean := NO" option.

Good catch. In that case I would follow the suggestion and remove the
file include/linux/version.h after and before compiling just as it
said. It will then be rebuilt with the version including the part
appended from --append-to-version and everything should be consistent.
OK, but to try it out I have to find another module that I'm missing,
since I compiled in the i2c modules that I need (and so have a boot dir
full of kernels)
Various candidates present themselves for addition, but I can't find
them in make menuconfig or xconfig.
The following errors appear in my boot log and point to missing modules:

Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: mousedev
Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: FATAL: Module mousedev not found.
Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: alias
Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: FATAL: Module alias not found.
I can't find mousedev in make menuconfig. I don't know why linux is
looking for those modules either.
As for alias, it comes from this line in my /etc/modules
# I2C module options
alias char-major-89 i2c-dev
What is that config line meant to do? My i2c stuff is working nicely
with GKrellM now (using lm_sensors)
And there is also:

Does this mean that i810_tco and usb_uhci do not have hardware
available? I can't find i810_tco in make menuconfig and make menuconfig
seems to be telling me that usb_uhci is set to M already (USB_UHCI_HCD)
