It would be my guess that if you have compiled a kernel with the option of 'no usb-storage' then there would be no 'hook' in the kernel for any USB-storage module to be called from. Don't think it is possible just to compile the module and have it used. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
