    Being a total newbie to Linux I may be talking complete *!^% but here goes
    anyway. Having just compiled a kernel myself I was wondering if this would
    work, copy the original .config file from the /boot directory into the
    kernel source directory and uncomment the relevent line in this file
    manually setting the value to "=y" or "=m" as appropriate. Re compile with
    the new (old) config file and keep everything crossed.

    I have absolutely no idea whether this will work but I would be interested
    to know :-). Please dont blame me if this breaks anything, and if anyone
    with any experience can step in to save some time and/or pain please do.

    Regards
