Compiling a kernel

[Jason Warm]

Okay, now when I try to compile the kernel, I get the following error 
message.  Can anyone give me some clues as to what this means?  It 
occurs during the "make vmlinux" portion.

arch/ppc/platforms/platform.o(.text.init+0x154a): In function `pmac_init':
: undefined reference to `pmac_ide_get_base'
arch/ppc/platforms/platform.o(.text.init+0x1552): In function `pmac_init':
