I have FreeBSD 2.1.5 from the August 1996 CD release. It is installed on a
Conner 210Mb (CFS210A) hard drive. My system hardware is as follows :

Intel Pentium 100 CPU
32Mb FP RAM
1.44Mb floppy drive
Acer 12x ATAPI CD ROM drive (CD-912E / ATK)
SoundBlaster 16 PnP (Hardware Rev. 4.1.3 (?) )
Accton 1650 16bit network card (UTP, AUTP & BNC interfaces)
Rockwell based 28800 modem (Rockwell RC288DPi chipset)
S3 ViRGE based video card (2Mb video ram)

No SCSI or EISA devices at all

I have written from scratch a custom kernel config file using the LINT
config file as a guide. I basically only wanted to enable support for the
above configuration. The config file passes the "/usr/sbin/config ?????"
stage but "make depend" fails with "Syntax error: "(" unexpected.

Attached please find the kernel config file, ricardow_kernel_config.txt, as
well as the output of the "make depend" command in the
make_depend_output.txt file.

What is wrong and what can I do to fix it ? I though that since I had no
eisa or scsi devices, I would not enable support for any of them, and also
since there is no native support for my Accton 1650 network card, I
disabled all other network card probes and only enabled the "device   ed0"
probing for a NE1/2000 network cards.

I have also attached my current kernel's config file which is derived from
the GENERIC one with only support for APM and my SoundBlaster added, I
think . :+>

Thanks in advance.
