Anyone have any suggestion? Install is stock 4.8-Stable except for a slimmed down kernel I compiled. I'm not aware of any kernel option related to the slash. Also, is there a way I can get a verbose logging of the boot process so I can track this down. Not that it's a big deal, but when I dig into a new OS like this, if I can't do it - I make my self succeed in order to learn the os better, or toss it aside as non-mature.
