No Progress Day 4

Reading some more about kernels today. The only saving feature about this excersize is that I have a toy OS to work with, while maintaining a running OS for normal daily usage.

Try this. Run config again and unmark everything experimental. On those items which have recommendations, I follow the advice.

make
make modules install

A quote from LFS mailing list:

Not building a required driver into the kernel is almost certainly the 
problem here.  lsmod on an earlier system and lspci are exactly the 
right tools to figure out the needed drivers.  After that rebuilding the 
kernel and retrying are the boot will be needed.

I found another website,
Techfreaks , Driver test page, and what seemed to be a step by step guide through configuring the kernel, Pappy's Kernel Seeds. Nothing I tried was working.
