But everything is a module, so you have to boot from one device (initrd)
and then load everything as a module. Of course you can just throw
everything into /etc/rc and forget about it.

2.2.36 doesn't exist. The kernel I made is 2.4.29.

Not really. Unless you have a similar hardware configuration as I
do, it's useless. Better to get a kernel from somewhere else. There
are plenty of good binaries floating around the Internet.

> Our USB computers are 1998 or 1999 so probably ohci.

Probably not. My 1998 PC takes usb-uhci. My PC purchased two months
ago also takes that. The only ohci I've seen is a Compaq. If you really
need to know, insmod both and see which one gives an error.

It could be either.
