    OK, but to try it out I have to find another module that I'm missing,
    since I compiled in the i2c modules that I need (and so have a boot dir
    full of kernels)

    Various candidates present themselves for addition, but I can't find
    them in make menuconfig or xconfig.

    The following errors appear in my boot log and point to missing modules:

    Mon Aug 29 16:52:11 2005: Loading modules...
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:11 2005: ide-cd
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: ide-generic

    Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: mousedev
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: FATAL: Module mousedev not found.
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: alias
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:12 2005: FATAL: Module alias not found.

    I can't find mousedev in make menuconfig. I don't know why linux is
    looking for those modules either.

    As for alias, it comes from this line in my /etc/modules
    # I2C module options
    alias char-major-89 i2c-dev

    What is that config line meant to do? My i2c stuff is working nicely
    with GKrellM now (using lm_sensors)

    And there is also:

    Mon Aug 29 16:52:13 2005: Detecting hardware: i810_tco e100 piix
    i810_audio usb_uhci ehci_hcd
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:13 2005: Skipping unavailable/built-in i810_tco module.
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:13 2005: Loading e100 module.
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:13 2005: Skipping already loaded module piix.
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:13 2005: Loading i810_audio module.
    Mon Aug 29 16:52:14 2005: Skipping unavailable/built-in usb_uhci module.

    Does this mean that i810_tco and usb_uhci do not have hardware
    available? I can't find i810_tco in make menuconfig and make menuconfig
    seems to be telling me that usb_uhci is set to M already (USB_UHCI_HCD)
