Pb to recompile the alpha-kernel

Hello,

I have a little problem with the noname-board kernel from BLADE_0.3 : the
default ethernet card in the kernel is not the good one. So I tried to
recompile with the good options. But the compilation of kernel/ksyms.c
made a lot of errors and warnings ("warning:missing braces around
initializer for 'symbol_table.symbol[1]'" at the beginning,
"warning:initialization from incompatible pointer type" almost every line
of 'symbol_table' initialization, and "error:initializer element for
'symbol_table.symbol[x].name' is not constant" sometimes), even with the
original .config file !!!

I tried to have a look in this file but I didn't find any brace error or
anything else... Of course, I'm not used to read the linux kernel sources.
So, could you be kind enough to help me ?

A last thing : CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set in my .config file, and my
ethernet card is an Allied Telesys AT 1500 (but the result is not better
with the DE4x5 driver), moreover, /sbin/genksyms is
not on my system and I didn't succed in compiling and running him.

Best regards,

GAUFILLET Pierre
