OK, the machine is up sans the I2O RAID daughter card.  I am trying to
build the kernel module, but I am having trouble even building a kernel
and/or building kernel modules on this system.  Is there some 'trick' to
building a kernel and/or kernel modules?  I am using the config's that
were install in the /boot/ directory -- even the vanila configs don't
seem to work.
