Ric:
Ya I corrected myself in a mail that came about 30 minutes later. My problem
was that for some reason my new kernel was not finding its module
dependancies on boot up as the rc.sysinit file should instruct it to do so
it would just hang at that spot. After e-mailing the list I got the idea
from Kim Hidong to run depmod after running make modules_install and that
worked. But the question remains why did the modules dependancies not build
on boot up. Oh well it is built now thanks to Kim who had this same problem.
