Thanks I switched my brain on after I had posted and figured that it was
something to do with the LCD backlight option in the macintosh devices
directory.  Found out I hadn't included LCD screen option.  Included
that still no joy.  Removed them both it works.  No details in the help
for either those options, though it makes sense if you have a laptop
with a LCD screen and backlight to include them, at least to me.

I remain confused however as to why it failed to compile the kernel
because of it.

Now I've got source code compiling I just have to mess about with the kernel
options until I get a sucessful boot.

Peace Jim
