12 He doesn't seem to specifically state that.
13 He does (subsequently?) say that he doesn't _want_ anything as a
14 module (beware teh dark side!), but that's not the same thing.
15
16 As I read Dale's original post, all he says is "I set
17 CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN as `not set`" (and in his post of 21 March 2008
18 16:13:49 GMT he says "if I say `compile it in'") "and it keeps
19 turning back into a module".

21 Of course this would prolly be much easier if Dale just posted a copy
22 of his .config. I have a feeling something "obvious" is being
23 overlooked, and it wouldn't do any hard to post the output of `cd /
24 usr/src/linux && ls -ld /usr/src/linux && md5sum .config && make &&
25 make modules_install` so we can see stuff for ourselves. You'll
26 notice that I look to check things like the /usr/src/linux symlink
27 here and that the .config used is actually the same one as I suggest
28 he posts.
