You guys aren't even listening, are you?

None of the above even *works* if you don't have modules enabled (which I
mostly don't).

This bug reared its ugly head exactly because I normally don't do modules
AT ALL, but had to have modules enabled on some of my machines due to
Intel wireless legacy reasons.

Anyway, can we please agree to not beat a dead horse. If you cannot accept
the fact that I want to just replace the kernel, then please don't even
bother Cc'ing me in the discussion. Ok? Because if you cannot respect my
choices, I sure as hell am not interested in hearing you blather about how
I need to change how I use my kernel. You diss me, I diss you.

End of discussion.
