Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Maybe, Jeff, you could try instead the pair i586 kernel and

Nope. Wrong answer.
Symlink config.h to autoconf.h in /usr/src/kernel/<version>/include/linux.
This is the same problem that bjorks the nvidia driver. config.h was
depricated, but far too much code looks for it.
