I have successfully compiled 2.2.18, thanks for all the advice everyone. It
detects my new SCSI CD writer and has lots of mentions to USB ports so
presumbably my aims in recompiling have been realised. However, the kernel
is not loading any of my modules they are all sitting there in
/lib/modules/2.2.18/. How do I tell the system that they are present and
that I want to use them (preferably dynamically). The most urgent problem
is the printer since I have file that I want to print from staroffice 6. I
tried insmod parport, insmod parport_pc and then insmod lp but I get no
response to dmesg | lp -P lp0 for example.
Loading the sg and sg_mod still does not let me mount the new SCSI drive as
sd0, sca0 (or should it be sg0).
The one module that appears to load dynamically is pppd on running kppp. I
didn't manage to dial out due to the line being busy but pppd runs. Any
help appreciated. Incidentally I boot from a w**d**s partition using
loadlin. I could attach dmsg ouput but didn't want to in case the group
does not like attachments. NH.
