conf.c no longer exists. Every driver used to have to have an entry in it. Now each driver adds it's own entry dynamically using a function in kern_conf.c julian p.s. if it's an ISA device try running the script /usr/share/examples/drivers/make_device_driver.sh or /usr/share/examples/drivers/make_pseudo_driver.sh (depending on whether you have actual hardware to inteface with ot if you are using a device driver to present some 'pretend' device). the scripts need a little updating. but they will do 90% of what you need (You need to add code to register the interrupt vector in the first and remove it from the config line it generates.
