This is the frustrating thing it looks to me as the right modules are loaded but I don't know enough about it to be sure.  I have all the modules built from what I can see but don't know what other ones I need to load.  Have compiled kernels before so might have to do this but seems a bit extreme when I'm sure it's something very simple that I'm missing/not doing.  It must be possible to do with modules.

these are the loaded modules at the moment.
