Thanks, that got it to build.

But, when I booted from this kernel, the STI console was unusable. 
Unfortunately, the network did not come up either (using dhcp), so I was
forced to pull the plug and boot the older kernel.

The only signficant thing I noticed was that the PS/2 mouse port was
active, but no device attached. I attached mouse (old Logitech) &
rebooted.
The keyboard was still unusable, but since gpm did start OK, I was able
to
carefully select/paste to login. I did get a look at the process table
and
the gettys were running, but dhcpcd was not. I suppose I could have
tried
to start it, but I didn't recall the syntax. 

Any ideas/suggestions/thoughts?
