including those modules that you actually need into

order to get a smaller initrd (with the --modules flag). Without
--modules, a default selection is picked which may not fit, because
your kernel is slightly larger than the default.
I was able to run the makeImage pointing both to
/usr/src/linux-2.4.21/arch/i386/boot/bzImage and to
/lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/arch/i386/boot/bzImage. I can either
just specify the --module "module name" or I can do a --bzip2 and it
writes to the disk fine. The boot disk works also. Now I need to put
the bcm5700 modules on to the disk. I'm not quite sure how to do this.
I tried putting the compiled bcm5700.o driver into
/lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/drivers/net and tried to recompile
(make oldconfig and then do the other makes). I recompiled from
/lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/. Then I did the makeImage and
pointed it to use the bzImage from
/lib/modules/2.4.21-udpcast/build/arch/i386/boot/. I also specified
--modules "bcm5700". However; now I get "Non-existant module
"bcm5700".
Any ideas?
