well, what's inside the unichrome package?
are the .diff files?
what does the readme/instructions say?

what do you mean it's losing the module?

also, 2.6.x uses a little different method than the 2.4 kernels regarding ide-scsi ( think it's called ide-cd).

check in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/modules/char ( maybe a directory named agp) for a driver that sounds like the one for the via.

unless you built it directly into the kernel (not a module) in which case it should already be enabled

yeah thats the correct name (for 2.6 kernels). when you start in on it again, do make xconfig/menuconfig again on your kernel source directory (DO NOT do make mrproper first) and check what you have checked in the agpgart module (is via support built in or enabled as a module).
