[ale] new kernel, hard drive inproperly detected..

[Geoffrey]

Update on this one folks.  I've resolved this problem.  I don't know if 
I missed a step during compile or what.  What I did was recompile 
completely from scratch.  Didn't change the config file, just cleaned 
everything else up and recompiled.  I'm running that kernel now.  Either 
I missed something, or the compile burped along the way and I missed it.

Thanks for the input.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
