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.
