This is an atrocity that haunts me quite often. There is a problem with the xconfig process - you deselect *some* unknown item and it breaks a dependency that the config process misses. USUALLY, you deselect some item and any other items that depend upon it are also automatically deselected. Not so with ATM. You can either go through the kernel config menu entries, probably in the network device support submenu. Select "Network device support" and go down to the bottom - there should be a submenu for "ATM drivers". Select that and look for anything there that might relate to the failing module: eni.o. If you find it, deselect it and try again. For me, the problem atm module is usually ambassador. I have to seek it out and deselect it to get a successful kernel build. You will NOT get an initrd out of the build process. 9.0 fails to produce it when you do the "make install" part. You will have to manually create an initrd and create the appropriate symlink or you will be sunk when you try to reboot to the new kernel. The symlink from vmlinuz to vmlinuz<new kernel> gets created OK but not the very necessary initrd creation and symlink change. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+U6F9wDUPEkSvRHERAn3RAKCzLf+uhkxihoC4mQCVa9nHL9VEWwCfTWvq iegvr4j9X3oqrrnY4beqsK4= =Zk4o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
