I have compiled smbfs support in my kernel as a module and emerged samba. However when I try to mount a share from the network running off of a NT server it says

smbfs can't find module
smbfs unknown file type

and errors out.

Any suggestions?

Did you make sure to load the module at startup (i.e. make sure it's listed in /etc/modules.autoload)?

Try doing an lsmod and see if it's listed.

I tried that. At boot when the autoload file loads it says

cant find smbfs module.

I recompiled my kernel twice. The second time I acutally saw smbfs being compiled in. So I am really confused

If /boot is on its own partition, did you make sure it was mounted before copying the new kernel over?
