It defaults to defconfig in [...]/arch/i386

If you use menuconfig, you can choose which config to load in the menu.

Well, I got a (mostly) successful build this time. Only problem is that before my NIC card worked without me having to do anything, now the lights do not even come on. when I reboot I get an error

Code Sample

Unable to locate RSDP

and some insmod commands that fail

Code Sample

insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o: No such file or directory
insmod: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/usb/usbcore.o failed
insmod: insmod hid failed
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/input/input.o: No such file or directory
insmod: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/input/input.o failed
insmod: insmod mousedev failed
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-cd.o: No such file or directory
insmod: insmod: insmod ide-cd failed

Other than the above and my NIC not working everything seems to be working ok

My NIC uses the Realtek RTL-8139 (which I made sure to include in menuconfig) so I am not sure what is going on there.

Any ideas how I can clear up these issues?

Start at the beginning because I'm not clear what you've actually done. Did you go ahead and rebuild 2.4.26? Or did you go ahead with a newer kernel? If you compiled a newer kernel, you need to update your boot configuration so it loads the newer kernel (it shouldn't be looking in .../2.4.26); it should load the old one if you didn't make any other changes. That means GRUB menu.lst or lilo.conf (plus run lilo), the initrd, system.map, etc. I think the issue lies in that area because it's not finding the modules.

Or you compiled usb and ide-cd in instead of modules..

The RDSP error means you have a buggy bios - add acpi=off to your boot arguments to get rid of it.
