What are your error messages. Why won't it compile? Do you have the full
'/usr/src/sys' directory on your machine?

The most glaring error is that you have options for four cpu types. You
need only one of these entries. If you have a standard pentium use this.
cpu		"I586_CPU"

Without knowing about your system it is very hard to know why your
kernel won't compile. Send some error messages.

For info on compiling a custom kernel start here.

Good luck,
