As I note it says in a make xconfig help snapshot. I dutifully copied it
with a copy/paste. But since I'm mounting / as an LVM I expect that to
be a little late although I am building it as a module, but the module is
being autoloaded by the kernel from the initrd.
I had better double-check that line in grub.conf again. Thanks for the
hint.
