Well, this is kinda weird to me...  In the /sys/conf/  I have a files, a 
files.orig and a files.newconf

The files has no mention of the pci/cy_pci.c line

but

The file.orig does have the line.

Should I rename files.orig to files and recompile my kernel?  How do 
these files come into play.  does the kernel read them when it is building?

I very much appreciate your help in my understanding of these things.
