Just a note ... if you are 'otherwise' happy with your kernel, and just
need to add some modules ... you can use config, xconfig, manuconfig to
just add the desired modules, then just 'make modules' and 'make
modules_install' ... (no new kernel image) ... much faster, and let's
you test modules easily - you don't even need to reboot.

aloha,
