[NTLUG:Discuss] Kernel module woes.

[Brian]

Scott--

In the future, you might want to check out "make zdisk" so you have an immediate
fallback to the original kernel.  There is a Linux Kernel HOW-TO that is very
helpful here.  Beware of processes pitched by distros that attempt to "help" by
making the most mundane tasks complex and opaque.
