This looks correct. Did you also adjust the 'ident' line in your ALEX-LAPTOP file from GENERIC to ALEX-LAPTOP? I'm certain I did, I can double-check though. I am not sure if the - in the kernel name will work. I do remember having problems building a kernel with a number in the name. But this was more then 10 years ago, but I still avoid it and do use only letters. So it is probably better to just use ALEXLAPTOP instead of ALEX-LAPTOP. That name worked when I was running this laptop on i386 but I could shorten it to without the hyphen. I was just trying to keep it like my hostname (alex-laptop.localhost). -- Yours in Christ, Joseph A Nagy Jr Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge, But he who hates correction is stupid. -- Proverbs 12:1 Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.

Re: Kernel Compile Fail
I would always recommend creating a custom kernel which is based on an include of GENERIC, then add / remove devices to your choices. This way your more likely to avoid issues and its very clear what you've changed from the default. In addition this way makes it easier to upgrade your custom kernel through OS versions as you'll always pickup the new defaults from GENERIC. Hope this helps.
