But I'm soooo good at worrying!

Ok, ok. I screwed my courage to the sticking pole and built a kernel
this morning. I don't have hfsplusutils installed and I ran into some
problems trying to install them so I transferred my newly built kernel
to my ISP directory and then downloaded it while in the MacOS.
One thing I learned is that you must make sure it downloads in binary mode
and not text mode. In text mode, the kernel doesn't make it and selecting
it results in a hung machine.

So the build went smoothly but I ended up with the following boot messages
when I booted into the new kernel.

So it apperas a sound (or THE sound) module is not loading. I was going to
chase this problem down tomorrow. Can I pick up a newer sound module and
compile it seperately?

Thanks!
