Strange, too, since modprobe.conf is full of stuff and rc.modules is too.

what do you get when you try to load a module with " modprobe "
...or run /etc/rc.d/rc.modules ?

Well, I remember my first slack install thread, so I went ahead and tried modprobe [modules here] that worked for last time adding to rc.modules, and it always says it doesn't know that module.
I'll go try running rc.mdules now

Is it possible by any chance, that you compiled the mentioned
modules as built-in features in the kernel and not as modules ?

I always compile agpgart and alsa drivers as modules for my part
You don't need ide_scsi with 2.6 kernel but ide_cd instead

Doesn't the kernel compilation save a file? I think it was .config or something. Would me posting that here help any?

It is a huge file
Better is for you to understand how to configure things
as module or as built-in. For my first kernel compile I
didn't succeed at the first time, but experience comes
from practice.

Ok, so I'll recompile again. Corrections for this time?

In block device, you may want CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP support
(Loopback device support, to mount iso image files for example)

You enabled a lot of modules in config

Hi Ray, glad to see you made some progess. I thought I would chip in again:

for your atapi cdrom devices

in your 2.6 kernel entry in the file /etc/lilo.conf, add

append="hdx=ide-cd"

where x = a,b,c, or d according to the following:

primary ide
master=a
slave=b
secondary ide
master=c
slave=d

eg append="hdb=ide-cd"

this does away with the need for scsi support for cdrom devices (new to 2.6 kernels)

No idea how my disks are setup >_<
How would I find out if it's primary, secondary, slave or master? I'm thinking it's primary master since I only got one HDD correct? Or is it about partitions?

if you read dmesg it will tell you where your drives are mounted. The other way is to look inside your computer. Chances are, if you have one ribbon connecting the hd and the cdrom to the mobo, they are hda and hdb respectively. more likely you have two ribbons, the hd is on hda, so the cdrom would be hdc.

heres some dmesg output:

Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: ST3120026A, ATA DISK drive
Probing IDE interface ide1...
hdc: PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W4012A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

easy, innit!

Not sure what you are doing there. It is ok to add modules without a total recompile as the kernel 2.6 is smart nowadays, but you cannot add modules if the same stuff is already in the kernel. Until you know what you are doing, i would recompile the whole thing.

You can afford to be selective about what you include. Read the help that goes with each option and make an informed decision.
For instance, i have no idea what phidgetservo.ko is, do you think you need this?
