It's been, erm, less than successful. Is this possible? Is it documented? I'm sure it is, but I can't find it. Can someone give me a pointer? The Handbook still has the 4.7 build instructions. My (new) kernel is now appearing in /boot, seems to be much smaller, and isn't seen at boot time. Figured I'd ask for help before hacking it into submission :) Is the 'old' build method no longer valid? Pointers to docs appreciated. I can grab the ISOs and do it if I need to, this is just a test box.
