Lines: 25 Message-ID: <3ts6aj$ntl@mars.earthlink.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: mariefrance.earthlink.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (Windows; I; 16bit) Thanks to everyone who pointed out the missing (commented out) controller scbus0 directive. I believe that's what it was anyway. We'll never know for sure because I had already overwritten the offending config file with a fresh copy of GENERIC to modify. The kernel does compile and run properly now but not without the warnings seen numerous times: "redundant redeclaration of 'DELAY' in same scope" (clock.h) and "previous declaration of 'DELAY'" (cpufunc.h) and the more troublesome: "passing arg 2 of nfs_nget from incompatible pointer type" in module nqfs_callback.c My question: Is it normal for software distributed in this manner to show any warnings at all? I can appreciate the complexity in accomodating so many different configurations, but it makes one wonder...maybe I'm lucky to have so few warnings. Thanks! Robert
