That looks correct to me.  That's what i always do, although i always
build my kernels in /usr/src/linux/.

V4L (Video for Linux) is for TV/webcams.  Its getting it from somewhere.
You sure that you didn't taint your kernel source, or copy the kernel to
the wrong place or with the wrong name.  Something is crossing your
signals.  Oh wait, this is a Caldera box, isn't it?  They have that
perverse /etc/modules/default crap, right?  Check in there and see if
there are any references to anything odd.  Also, what version of modutils
are you running?  You made sure to meet all the minimum requirements in
$linux/Documentation/Changes, right?

What kind of SCSI controller do you have?  Should be as simple as
"modprobe <module_name>".  And then if that works ok, add something like
this to /etc/modules.conf:
alias scsi0 <module_name>

So i take it that your NIC & Sound are now working?
