My compile adventure

Lonni:

Here's a file of output from running 'lsmod' on my system. I hope this helps. 
In the meantime I am going back to recompile my hardware, into this new 
kernel. I haven't the foggiest notion as to which options to choose, but I 
know I do NOT need SMP in the kernel.

I am compiling it as I type this to you.

I am not sure how to tell if they are loaded or not. Here's the file though.
