I run into this problem often, though not all the time.  I go through and 
customize my kernel via xconfig, run "make dep && make bzImage && make 
modules" and let it go. I leave it at this because of the past experience in 
this problem, preferring to do "make install && make modules_install" after I 
know everything built properly.  Anyway, the problem I often run into is a 
crash and burn during the making of modules.  Invariably it involves ATM in 
some way, shape, or form.  

There appears to be a problem somewhere in the kernel config system that fails 
to take proper account of dependencies between settings and modules because I 
set my kernel up, leaving ATM support up but somewhere, one of the options I 
chose NOT to add/retain kills the ability for the make modules process to 
continue.  I haven't been able to localize the errant setting as yet.

Usually, if you deselect something upon which a host of other items depends 
upon in xconfig, those subsequent options and modules are grayed-out and no 
longer available.  This fails for ATM support.  There appears to be some 
setting somewhere that ATM support requires but deselecting it fails to 
remove ATM support from being selectable.  

Has anyone else run into this problem?  Does anyone know what the kernel 
config requirements are (minimum) in order to have ATM modules build instead 
of killing the whole kernel build/install procedure because of this one 
little error?
