The UPDATING file was not real clear to me. I didn't understand what they were trying to say about this: # Your kernel config files need to be changed to s/controller/device/ in # them. You will need a new version of config to do this. I understand about subbing devices for controllers but a new version of config? > Make a habit of reading UPDATING before doing compiles.

This is my first major kernel upgrade and I would not suggest it for beginners. So, I read the UPDATING file before starting and got myself into lots of trouble. After first reading through all of the UPDATING info I mistakenly started out with the very first thing listed under common items. It now looks like I should have started out with the last thing (to update...). I've since copied over my new GENERIC to a custimized kernel config file but now doing a make gives me the following errors doing make on the kernel: ../../dev/amr/amr_pci.c:72: `bus_driver_added_desc' undeclared here (not in a function) ../../dev/amr/amr_pci.c:72: initializer element for `amr_methods[7].desc' is not constant *** Error code 1 Searcing the archives for amr_pci is useless. I get lots of threads not relating to this problem. The latest being Dec. 99! What am I doing wrong here?
