Richard:

Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.  I've been lazy and should
learn more about the akmod build process before relying on it entirely.

BTW, while I appreciate Harald's views, I am more than happy to break
things and look for a fix.  I worry about stability on the system I build
for my kids, but not mine.

George
