Syntax Error in Kernel

[Nathan Mace]

That seems to have done it.  Thanks.

I had looked in the GENERIC and NOTES file, and noticed that those  
options didn't appear, but I couldn't find anything that said they  
were no long used like that, and I couldn't find anything that told  
me what to use in their place.

Thanks for the help.
