Well, I ended up having to remove some other things to before it would
compile correctly. I had to remove things from make.conf and the dracut
config too.  After several attempts, I finally got to a point where it
would build correctly, both compile and create the init thingy.  So, I
now have a couple kernels that have a init thingy, testing with that,
and a few that don't, just in case the test fails.  Sorta something like
this:

root@fireball / # /root/grub-update
Generating grub configuration file ...
Found linux image: /boot/kernel-3.16.3-2

Found linux image: /boot/kernel-3.13.6-1
Found linux image: /boot/kernel-3.11.6-1
done
root@fireball / # 

Planning to test them here shortly.  Then to see how long before it
flunks the test, like last time I used this thing.  I also realized I
have a spare 750GB drive to.  That could come in handy.  ;-)

Thanks.
