: Didn't work for me, but the comments near this section indicate that you

The TRAKKER_DEV=0 should be okay, as long as you use /dev/nqft0 as
tape device. The options to the modules take precedence, but they are
okay, too.
Brian: For the missing trakker.o, my guess is that you have broken
your MCONFIG. You can diff against a fresh MCONFIG to see which
changes you have taken. You should only change the FDC_OPT and
XXX_DEV options.
Larry: Can you send me the relevant part of the kernel log (probably
/var/log/messages). There should be some more hints...
