Compile kernel and modules

[Michael Havens]

Could someone direct me to a webpage  that will instruct me on how to compile  
my kernel and necessary modules? Once I get the ISA card working what command 
do I issue to see what the card is? I know that it's a soundblaster but 
that's all I know about it. I think that the ISA/PCI entries are what I will 
need modules for..... is this correct? (you were right Craig, let's do the 
whole thing right)

Would you teach me something ? Please tell me if I am understanding how lspci 
is responding? It is saying that the host bridge is at the top of the tree 
and that under that is a PCI bridge and an ISA bridge.Because we aren't 
asking about ISA it goes on to tell what is on the PCI branch. On the PCI 
branch an IDE interface (the hard drives <?>), the USB ports,  the fax/modem, 
the ethernet ports, the SCSI controller, and the video card. Seeing as how 
there is a way to view what is on the PCI bridge why can we NOT view the ISA 
bridge? WHy are there two host bridges? I think I see..... the second host 
bridge is user peripherals. What is this 'ISA-to-PCI' thing in the third 
line? I am thinking now that USB ports might be like the ISA port not 
connected... hmmmmmmm.....
