} This looks like you didn't run "make depend" at the right time(s). Any
} time you change your config file (or anything the config file

I did (run make depend) ; I don't (absolutely... :-)

I only uncommented the ed0 line for the second try, and it built a
valid kernel.  I'm just curious as to why it failed the 1st time.  My
guess would be that "GATEWAY" would add the missing modules; I didn't
define that since I thought that implied my machine being a router for
other hosts.
