[NTLUG:Discuss] kernel compile problems

[Geremy L. Hamlett]

OK,  I am back.  I was able to compile 2.4.19 almost the way I wanted.  I 
would like to thank MadHat for pointing me to the initrd problem.  I have 
run into a few more though.  I cannot get my USB mouse to work.  I 
compiled, what I thought was, the USB modules, and HID modules, but for 
some reason It doesn't recognize my USB mouse.  It works fine under the 
canned RedHat kenel.

Next problem:
During the boot i noticed a modprobe error,  I don't know exactly what it 
said but it was something like:
modprobe: modprobe cannot ..(something)..major-char..(something).
I don't know what this means. Has anyone seen this befor?

Last Problem: (not major)
After I booted into the kernel ( without mouse support) I could startx and 
everything worked great, but I got a warnning in my XFree86 log saying:
	System lack support for changing MTRRs
What is/are MTRRs and should I worry about this.

Thanks again to the Folks of NTLUG during my adventure into compiling my 
new kernel.
