Hi *,
 
After posting that article where I gave the make log from the
kernel build, I stumbled across what I believe to be the problem.
 
Many, if not all of the unresolved symbols I'm getting are because
the i386/isa stuff isn't getting compiled somehow.  For instance, there's
no fd.o, wd.o, com.o files in my config directory, but there are the
objects for lpt and vga_console.  The lpt and vga_console lines are
in a "files.i386" file because the documentation for those things 
explicitly told me to add lines to that file.  However, the other lines
(for the more "mundane" hardware) are missing.
 
Any clues on how I should reconstruct this file?  Should I just have:
 
isa/fd.c   fd device-driver
isa/wd.c   wd device-driver
 
etc., added to files.i386?
 
Please help.
