GENERICAHA is the kernel you're most likely running, all the others
are samples.  DON"T EDIT GENERIC AHA DIRECTLY, copy it to a file names
YOUR_MACHINE_NAME, and edit that, otherwise, you could find yourself
in a rather untenable position.

Don't forget to make a backup copy of the working kernel, just in case
you host yourself over.
