Sometime Today, Nikhil Joshi assembled some asciibets to say:
Now while booting linux I get following errors: modprobe:Can't locate module opl3sa2 {My sound card is Yamaha and I had enabled this module}
You have to create an alias in /etc/modules.conf for soundcore:
alias soundcore opl3sa2
or something like that. sndconfig should do it for you.
I tried sndconfig which gave me following error : You don't seem to be running kernel with modular sound enabled (soundcore.o was not found in the module search path) { I had enabled modular sound }
Have you enabled loadable module support in your kernel? Both of your problems seem to be with loadable modules not enabled.
You'd also need newer versions of modutils. kernels 2.4.x require new versions of these tools, and others. Check /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes
The second error is as follows: mount:fs type vfat not supported by kernel { I had enabled this during the configuration}
Seems to be the same problem of kernel not being able to load the modules.
One last thing. Make sure that you run depmod -ae 2.4.2-2
