would you mind telling me what is initrd image ?
I haven't done this step.
Is it too late for me to do this now ?

Another Question is that:
How can I obtain the ne.o and 3c59x.o modules for kernel 2.2.3 ?
Can I compile it from /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/drivers/net/3c59x.c
                            and /usr/src/linux-2.2.3/drivers/net/ne.c after
built kernel ?
How to compile ?
