That particular README sent me over the edge, and I thought I was just unable to grasp what was going on. Since then, probably 20 or 30 kernel compiles later, I happily still compile by hand and love it. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.10-pre9 FreeBSD 4.3

What I found valuable from the doc was what needed to be installed, then the quickstart (for those who are impatient): make xconfig (or menuconfig) make-kpkg clean #Epoch: make-kpkg --revision=3:custom.1.0 kernel_image I add he epoch, so an apt-get update/upgrade doesn't try to replace my new kernel John -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Using [Debian] Linux _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ pgpS8gkajgFlU.pgp Description: PGP signature

I don't remember using (or specifically invoking) sr_mod in the years I've been burning CDR's. Why don't you try: insmod sg #sg = scsi generic For compiling kernels the painless way (as far as I'm concerned, anyway) use "kernel-package"

'cause that's the only image I could get to reconize my nic cards for a net install. Any way I was able to find the ide-scsi.o module and some others that belong in the scsi dir but could not find the sr_mod. Looking at prior posts I get the impression that i'll have to do a recompile (always wanted to anyway) I'm not finding much info on doing a recompile the Debian way searching google Debian and the list archives. Will the howto via linuxdoc suffice? Or is there a way to do this with out recompiling? I think I'm only missing the sr_mod. Thanks again. Hope the above wasn't too much rambling.
