Hello,
if you followed the instructions in README.ALTQ step by step (1-5) you
created a directory "sys.altq" which holds the patched system source. If you
now try to build the kernel "the new way" (which isn't really new, but more
automated) you use the sources from sys *not* from sys.altq! That is why you
don't have altq_* symbols in your kernel.
If that wasn't the case (i.e. you patched in sys and did not create
sys.altq) I am very interested to hear what else went wrong.
Regards,
Max

Well, "step-by-step"-instructions are to be followed step-by-step. That is
why we provide them as such. If you know what you are doing, you can build
your kernel "the new way" (i.e. patch in sys not in sys.altq or modify the
Makefile to reflect the change (good luck with that one ;))
