I always thought GENERIC98 was a kernel config for a PC98 machine, which are apparently all the rage in Japan, 'intel' like, but not quite... (i.e. I don't think you can / could use a GENERIC98 kernel on a standard Intel PC? - or at least not well...) If it's an Intel PC - and not a Japanese PC98 type machine - use GENERIC as the base for the kernel config... However someone will probably know differently... Riley J.
