Doh! I didn't have CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD enabled. |

The kernel is now finding the root partition based on the DOS |
| 14 |
paritition table verison of the PARTUUID. Yay! |

I'm a bit surprised that xhci support isn't enable by default these |
| 17 |
days. It's been yonks since you could buy a new machine that didn't |
| 18 |
have an xhci controller, and presumably having support enabled on an |
| 19 |
old machine doesn't cause problems. |

The Intel wireless interface isn't showing up yet, because the |
| 22 |
firmware loading is failing. It worked when booting from the minimal |
| 23 |
install image, so I've still got some kernel configuration tweaking to |
| 24 |
do. I have vague memories of the iwlwifi driver not working well when |
| 25 |
compiled as part of the kernel but working better as a module... |
