I'm having problems making a customized kernel for = my=20 system.
I used GENERIC as a template in building my own kernel,=20 removing
all the unneeded(I think) devices and controllers.  I = added=20 in
some devices and controllers for my soundcard and joystick.
The = kernel=20 compiled and booted fine but there were problems:

1)  When=20 attempting to play sounds(WAV, MP3), all that came = out
    of=20 the speakers was garbage(static and noise).
2)  X-Windows failed = to=20 start due to an initialization problem
    with the=20 mouse.
3)  When attempting to run /stand/sysinstall it = terminated=20 after
    probing for devices with what seemed to be a = dump of=20 garbage
    to STDIN.  Most of the garbage looked = like C=20 style hex numbers
    (i.e.  0xSOMENUMBERS) and = when=20 pressing return after the fail
    it would try to run = the=20 garbage as programs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  = I love=20 the OS and would
love to continue using it providing I can get things = customized
the way I want them.  Keep up the good=20 work.
