Re: [PLUG] kernel compiling woes

[LeRoy Cressy <lcressy@telocity.com>]

When it comes to system hardware I like to compile the hardware directly
into the kernel in stead of as a module.  Modules I compile only items
that are used occasionaly.  I donot like to compile anything that is not
needed into the kernel as either a module or into the kernel.  This
makes for a faster more efficient system.

Did you do a "make modules" and a "make modules_install"?

Also if you compiled your eth0 as a module did you configure the boot
sequence to automatically load the module on boot?  If not you need to
run insmod to load the module manually.
