I just thought I'd send this out in case others aren't aware... |

I've updated some seven machines now to the new profile and gcc6. Out of |
4 |
the seven, four of them had problems rebuilding the kernel which led to |
5 |
an outright hang during booting (black screen, no kernel panic, just hang.) |
6 |
|
7 |
I found out `make clean` is not enough, I had to backup my .config, use |
8 |
`make mrproper`, restore the .config and run `make silentoldconfig` |
9 |
before compiling the kernel and modules. |

|
11 |
I am thinking `make clean` didn't remove everything made during the |
12 |
compile process and caused some strange race condition somewhere while |
13 |
booting (completely guessing here.) |
14 |
|
15 |
I went back to the three that seemed to be working fine and did the |
16 |
mrproper process on them, because if something happens down the line I |
17 |
probably won't remember what caused the boot issue. |
