1. Diamond Fireport not found on boot

I am running slackware 3.6 with a Quantum scsi harddrive and toshiba
cdrom.  The hard drive is ID 0 with the cdrom at ID 2.

The problem is that on bootup, my Diamond Fireport 40 is not found
when I compile a custom kernel.  I am using the 2.0.36 sources.

I was able to install slackware using a bootdisk and an confused why
my custom kernel is not working.  When I looked at the directory
structure during compile process, I saw that the
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi directory had a ncr53c7,8xx.o but not an
53c8xx.o.  I do not know if that will help.  My only thought is that
the kernel is compiling without support for the fireport card, but I
do not now how to make it suport it.

I have compiled kernels successfully before but they were all IDE and
not scsi.

Any suggestions.

Since I do not keep up on usenet posts, please send responses  to
