Wow, that's an extreme measure, that could probably work.  I'm just a
newbie ... and have slowly been moving through my unix learning curve,
from ver 2.0 the now redhat 7.  You should not have to go through such
pains just install the OS.... versions 6 and beyond have a pretty good
supported hardware list.  And after the OS is installed you just have to
suffer the hard knocks to locat configuration assistance, ... which can
be found at plenty of sites on the web and in news groups such as this
one.

Rember, keep it simple

Sorry guys but that wont work.  You have to compile a binary version
of the kernel with the proper drivers either has modules or part of
the actual kernel binary.
