I'll have to boot the new kernel again and see what it says. I think all
it did was through up a bunch of "can't load something something" and
then it dropped into a shell. A shell that didn't offer much.

The instructions tell you to grab the config file for the running
kernel. I loaded that and did the compile. I figured for a first try I
should go with the default settings.

The trouble I'm having could be an Ubuntu issue. I'm surprised that I'm
the only one having this issue. Or so it seams. I've been searching
Google and haven't found much.
