by I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Any time I try to recompile my kernel, the new kernel hangs on boot up
at the floppy drive section.
I've done this many times before (when adding sound and PCMCIA support
as modules) without any problem and I can't see what I'm doing
differently.
I'm using SuSE 5.2 on my laptop and Wind*ws reports my floppy as
'normal'.

I can't see anything wrong. Is there anything else that I can look at?
I'll post full versions of my kernel config and boot log if needed.
