LINT is meant to contain *ALL* of the available options, but is not meant to give you a runnable kernel. Start with GENERIC and ADD/REMOVE options from it based on LINT code is the best way. If you start with GENERIC, you'll be much less likely to get a hosed up kernel due to using some un-supported/un-tested feature. Try starting over with GENERIC and see what it buys you. Nate
