Typo. I think it seemed more intimidating than it really is, hence the
typo. After correcting the typo, it booted.
I'm going to experiment a bit and then recompile again, though because,
ironically, the "alsa" kernel fails to load alsa and the genkernel had
alsa all along, which was the impetus for the recompile.
In any event, at least I'm learning a bit :)
