Can't u;nderstand where this stuff came from... I normally had that 
stuff commented out. I even found the same error on the older, 
functional machine's kernel which had compiled correctly.... there was 
another error in that kernel at the very beginning - the SCHEDULE_4BSD 
was SCHEDULE_UNO or something like that.. but it was commented 
out...perhaps these glitches happened through some kind of accidental 
typos in vi....

Anywasy, I think that will fix things... thank you for the observations.
