Well, when you download the kernel sources, there can be "old cruft" in |
| 25 |
there. It does seem to start out with some basic options and I was told |
| 26 |
once a long time ago to run mrproper to be sure to get it all out. It |
| 27 |
fixed the problem I was having then and I have done it ever since. |
| 28 |
Funny thing is, I wonder if that would have helped. Most likely not but |
| 29 |
something to remember next time. |

I just checked and I have a newer kernel on here. I may compile the new |
| 32 |
version and boot it next time. I'm on almost 45 days of uptime so don't |
| 33 |
hold your breath on me rebooting. LOL |

Glad you got it running though. |
