HI folks

I got the problem, that several modules couldnt be loaded at boot. some of
them are filesystems (xfs,jfs,ntfs). and some device drivers (aic7xxx,
3c59x).. But why?
At least the device drivers should work. I compiled these ones, that have
been loaded with the livecd.
I cant imagine, what happens. This error occurs too, when i only load the
modules as modules [M].
If you need additional information, ask. At the moment, i dont know, what
information seems to be useful to explain my problem. And i dont have any
boot logs. maybe it would be good, if i had...

One useful piece of information would be the output of dmesg, usually
module loading errors will appear in there.

Don't know exactly what you are speaking of, esp. last sentence.
possible explanations:
- you've compiled the drivers statically into the kernel rather than
modules (that's how I interpret that talking about "[M]"...), then
there's no module to load,
- you haven't installed modules (did you compile manually? did you run
"make modules_install"?)
- the modules don't load because hardware cannot be found

What happens if you manually modprobe those modules? What's the error
being shown then?
