That was indeed my problem - sorry for the false alarm, folks!
I grabbed the GE
I copied GENERIC and GENERIC.hints to MYKERNEL and MYKERNEL.hints
respective, and edit them to suit my system.
In MYKERNEL, I changed a line of hints to
hints "MYKERNEL.hints"
and because my fe0's irq is 6, I modified MYKERNEL.hints
hint.fe.0.irq="6"
Is this ok? I never used *.pl sc

He seems to have put a new style GENERIC file (thus one that has no

Well, I don't know about modifying the argument vector in Perl
(and I'd rather not find out how it behaves across various
circumstances), but:
