True.  But I got some attention.

You wanted to see "a" config, but I wanted to show the diffs. Also 
yesterday I hadn't gone thru what I have yet to see where it falls apart.

I have gotten bounced from lkml because a screen shot pix of a failed boot 
was too big.  Perhaps 18 months or so.  It was big, from a 10 megapixel 
camera.

No, one intermediate step in this case.

I started with 3.0.19, which was fine, took that one to 3.2.40, and that 
one to 3.8.2 because I don't have anything between those here.  Not exactly 
a step by step.

>I don't know what kernel version 3.019 is.  Do you mean 3.0.19?

Yes, Joanne Dow would call that a typu for sure.

Thanks Randy.
