I am sort of confused by your question.
You want to compile the driver for your buslogic
into the kernel and not as a module. (I do not think
you can even load your boot disk controller driver
as a module)
When recompiling your kernel, if you have drivers for
devices that will always be present and you will never
have the need to bring them down, compile the drivers
into the kernel and not as a module.
For example, I have a complete SCSI system with two Intel
NIC's and one PCI to SCSI interface card. When I recompile
my kernel, I leave out everything except just what I need
to operate my system. (Also sound, serial, mouse, etc..)
There is a lot of stuff in the default Linux kernel that
most people can do without. However, even with everything
compiled into the kernel, the kernel itself is still quite
small compared to other Unix's so performance is not a factor.

Subject: silly linux kernel compilation question
hi,
Please forgive me if this question is too silly..:-)
I have a machine with a Buslogic scsi card. I have 2 hard disks(scsi) of
1 and 2GB capacity. Now my root partition will be on the 1GB hard disk.
So
when configuring for compilation of a new kernel, make the buslogic
driver
as a module? and what about the actual scsi driver? Should it be
compiled
as a module or built into the kernel? Please remember I have only scsi
on
my machine.
Any help or comments on this will be welcome.
Thansk and regards,
Raju
