smbfs - kernel - debian woody

[kZahradnik]

Hy again....
I have a question. Apperantely I am too dumb to find the info on the Web, so I decided to bother you guys...

Is smbfs per default in the Kernel or do you have to explicitly compile it in?

If it is a default module (I would assume so) can I simply add another boot parameter like smbfs=on or something like that?

I really need the smbfs support going.
Thanks in advance

Just for the record.
The default Kernel used by Debian Woody is ide-pci and has no smbfs support build in.

as far as i know, its not. However, I haven't used a default kernel since I installed (i recompiled within a month or two of starting with linux), so I dunno. you should be able to add it module wise in the installer, however, I don't know how you would do that post-install short of building a kernel. (unless you get default source and simply added smfs support as a module, and then did make-kpkg modules && make-kpkg modules_install...)

I solved the problem by installing Kernel 2.4 and made sure I had smbfs selected.
