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
