Hope I'm not bugging the newsgroup. But I've tried many things and things still don't seem to work. My kernel is 2.4.20-8 from RedHat CD 9.0. I compiled the kernel without module support. My lilo line as a root="nomodules /dev/hda9". Booting seems to begin normally. Booting stops saying QM_MODULES: function not implemented. I have read on the net that that could be fixed with module-init-tools. But my question is rather generic: All the problems I get are related to module support. I have tried modifying the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to avoid modprobes etc script etc but to no avail. I would be grateful for some suggestions on how to make a monolithic kernel completely independent of any module support. Regards, Tony
