Ever since I installed NetBSD 0.9, I've noticed a bit of an annoying
error message.

ed0: receive ring buffer overrun

last message repeated 124 times   <--- no joke!

it is also loosing its connection to my NFS server.

I've use the genericaha kernel supplied in the distribution
to set this machine up..

So, I thought the ed0 driver (for a 8013EDP card)
might be bad.  

I then tried to recompile the kernel with the latest, greatest
source from sun-lamp.

well...I did the config genericaha, and so on..
did the make depend
and then a  make

it sits and does its thing for about 10 minutes and then gives me the
following errors:

loading netbsd
init_main.o: Undefined_symbol _pdevinit referenced from text segment
init_main.o: Undefined_symbol _pdevinit referenced from text segment
*** Error code 1

Stop.

as you all can see, it failed miserably.

any body got any ideas what is wrong in either case??
I haven't found any instructions on kernel compilation or a recent
FAQ, for that matter.

Thanks for any help.
