YDL 3.0.1 boot from issue.

Wed Nov 26 10:57:02 2003

Thansk for the response!

Actually I think that making modules is different from making kernel, at =
least it is true on x86 environmet.  As long as all components needed =
are being selected as kernel component instead of module, then kernel =
make is being considered complete. Make modules is for those componets =
being selected as module.=20

Is anything different under PPC environment or I misunderstood the =
making process?

Thanks!

Eddie
