David's kernel has scsi_mod built in.  Loop is not needed for any kernel 
that I know of for burning CDs. ide_hd is probably built in too.

You cannot mix modules between David's kernel (which he compiled with a 
later glibc) and mine.  Usually it crashes badly.

The nopmcia modules packet (plus the pcmcia modules packet) is for use 
only with laptops, and does not include the scsi modules (except for 
scsi_mod and sd_mod needed for USB) because my laptops do not do scsi or 
have CD burners.  Get the modules-smz-431.tgz package instead.  I wanted 
to save space on my laptop drives by not adding unusable modules to them.

You said to make it all as modules.  You cannot use the Slackware modules 
because they are compiled with a later glibc than my kernel.
Get my larger modules package listed above.
