Aloha All; To get support for my new ata100 drive , last night I installed the 2.2.4pre9 kernel ( using kernel-package ) . It all went fine (the drive worked) ... but then I noticed non of the modules Id selected seemed to be loading on boot.
I checked /lib/modules/2.2.4pre9 and non of the modules Id selected during the kernel config were there. I tried again and again but alas no modules seemed to be getting compiled. I checked the docs for kernel-package and it said something about modules not being compiled when the kernel version has an epoch ????? Am I doing something completely stupid here ? mallum
