Thanks for the response, but it turned out to be something much more |
| 35 |
trivial. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that I had NOT enabled |
| 36 |
PCI support in the kernel I was trying to compile. So, because the |
| 37 |
SBUS options were enabled by default, it was trying to load the SBUS |
| 38 |
when it couldn't recognize the PCI bus. |
| 39 |

What you suggest seems like an interesting way to pare down the |
| 41 |
kernel, though. If I ever decide that I want a leaner kernel, I might |
| 42 |
try what you suggested. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Thanks! |
