Modules after kernel compile.????

[p_a_torres]

Hi,

I had to ide-floppy support to my
system and from what I gathered the way
to do this was to recompile the kernel
including the ide-floppy support files.

So, I recompile my kernel (2.4.2) and
now I see that the file ide-floppy.o
has been created but I can't still
not load it??????

If I do a LSMOD after booting and
login as root there are no modules showing
at all.... which I don't understand. If
I try INSMOD ide-floppy I get a "Can't
file module" response? I thought it had
something to do with DEPMOD but that is
not it either. If I look at the modules.conf
file the only thing there is par_port, usb,
and eth0 which I just added.

Could anyone provide some info about what
is going on and how to address the problem?

Thanks,

Pedro

well two things did you check module or yes for that support? if you checked yes it is compiled into the kernel and does not need to be loaded as a module. If you selected module did you do a make modules and a make module_install?
