This is probably along the same lines as mu questions about ipf and 
gateway routing. The kernel needs to be recompiled with the proper 
options.

I think it would be a good idea for the restore CD to install a kernel 
with as much stuff turned on as possible. This would allow someone to 
install or upgrade quickly, and get it back into service. One could then 
recompile the kernel, while running, to disable unneeded options so as to 
optimize performance.
