kernel compile problems (tulip / tulip_old) + more

[SA]

Dear list,

I need to recompile the kernel to include osf partition support, however
it fails to compile because of a conflict between the tulip driver and the
tulip_old driver - (some errors below) - in the config menus I can only find 
an option relating to the tulip driver (I have a tulip network card). Any
ideas ? 

thanks SA

Also, I have an alpha machine that had its PROM trashed by a firmware update
(update firmware (y/n) y / erasing PROM / updating PROM / Failed....) now the
computer is dead and won't even perform the hardware jumpered "failsafe
booot from floppy" -  has anyone had any experience with this?, Is it possible 
to get a new PROM?

thanks SA

Compile one or both of them as modules.
