Still No go I'm afraid.

After loading the kernel the last messages are:
Running /linxrc
Mounting /proc
linuxrc: Installing sis900 driver
modprobe sis900
modprobe: Cna't locate module sis900

then panic

The kernel is 2.4.9 from kernel.org with the
sis900.c and sis900.h taken from the 2.4.18 kernel
and modified slightly to compile under 2.4.9

I applied the nfs patch as per the docs.

I then ran the buildk program from the initrd_kit.

I had set EXTRVERSION = -ltsp-6et
in the kernel Makefile.

After running the buildk, I found a kernel
vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6et had been created.
I copied this into /tftpboot/lts
and made appropriate entry in /etc/dhcpd.conf

buildk had also created a file:initrd-2.4.9-ltsp-6et.gz

I gunzipped this and mounted it:
mount -o loop initrd-2.4.9-ltsp-6et /mnt

Mosying round in /mnt, I found my way
to lib/modules/2.4.9-ltsp-6et/kernel/driver/net/
and there was sis900.o
running nm on sis900.o produced a pretty normal
looking output.

So - the sis900.o is there OK. Why can't modprobe
find it?

Have I messed up the kernel configuration somewhere?
(I copied the .config from the ltsp stuff into usr/src/linux-2.4.9
before the make deps, etc stuff)

Should I do something more with ldconfig?
Should I expect modprobe to look in the 2.4.9-ltsp-6et directory?
Can modprobe be persuaded to produce more diagnostic output?

Any suggestions welcome!
