no bootloader found, Cannot configure kernel

[Shawn Protsman]

Hi Bruce,

Would you mind elaborating a little (or a lot).  Here is the output of 
the 2.4.22-2g and 2.4.23-pre5-ben0 directories in /lib/modules

[sprotsman@pyro 2.4.22-2g]$ pwd

This is from the 2.4.23-pre5-ben0 kernel:

Where exactly would the aic7xxx.o module be that you refer to?  I've 
looked in modules/[kernel name]/kernel/drivers/scsi but there is no 
aic7xxx.o found.

Again, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
