itsaforkbelieve it or not, but this is not as obvious to everyone as you might think...03:10
itsaforkword of advice: do not for WHATEVER reason start adding random standard-expression-type strings to the end of the reference name of your kernel. -OR- changing the name of your kernel by adding random standard-expression-type strings to the end of it. believe it or not, IT WILL PREVENT EVERYTHING IN THAT SYSTEM FROM WORKING AFTER REBOOT!!!!!!!03:10
