3com 905 (linux 590 driver - right?) I put that into the kernel as a
lump rather than a loadable module. Will that have broken something?

kernel build went beautifully (well...), it boots up and I can run x no
problem. did roughly the following......

make xconfig
make dep
(make clean somewhere here?)
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
copy bits to places
edit lilo.conf
run lilo
