So is sound working now or not?  Looks like you've got an ancient ISA card
there.

Just a minor nitpick.  You don't need to compile support for ACLs or quota
unless you plan to use them.  It just makes your kernel bigger.

Those errors are non-fatal, and i think they're just a bug in modprobe.
Can you access the SCSI scanner?  If not, did you compile support for it?

To be honest, I am certain I don't have the System.map copied over correctly. 
Here's what I did after the last compile run: cp /linux-2.4.20/System.map

what I tried. I am way new at all this, so I do appreciate your patience with 
me. 

no worries..we'll be patient.. (like a kid in a candy store :>) copy 
your system.map-2.4.20 to System.map and that should fix you.



1) Are you sure you coppied the right System.map into /boot? You are
still getting errors about that



I checked the modules.conf file, and found no reference there to 'char major 
81' As well, I did NOT select video for linux when running make menuconfig. 

Right.. thats the problem. for some reason he's trying to locate that 
module or alias you need to add an alias in modules.conf for char 
major 81 that says videodev




2) char major 81 is for /dev/video and a couple other things.. check
devices.txt in the Doc's.. it has nothing to do with anything other than
an alias in modules.conf.. assuming you have no video devices.



How do I modprobe my SCSI host adapter? I don't even know what the adapter is 
called, let alone how to probe it. 



what type of hardware is it? modprobe  is how you would 
load the module. The module is the device driver for the hardware.. so, 
you need to know what kind of hardware you have before you probe..

3) What happens if you modprobe your SCSI host adapter from the command
line. What are the errors?



Thank you for any help you can give this struggling newbie. 


sure... no problem..

That looks correct to me.  That's what i always do, although i always
build my kernels in /usr/src/linux/.

V4L (Video for Linux) is for TV/webcams.  Its getting it from somewhere.
You sure that you didn't taint your kernel source, or copy the kernel to
the wrong place or with the wrong name.  Something is crossing your
signals.  Oh wait, this is a Caldera box, isn't it?  They have that
perverse /etc/modules/default crap, right?  Check in there and see if
there are any references to anything odd.  Also, what version of modutils
are you running?  You made sure to meet all the minimum requirements in
$linux/Documentation/Changes, right?

What kind of SCSI controller do you have?  Should be as simple as
"modprobe ".  And then if that works ok, add something like
this to /etc/modules.conf:
alias scsi0 

So i take it that your NIC & Sound are now working?
