Someplace along the line, either a make oldconfig screwed up, or my .config chain of succession my scripts use got totally fubared when I was trying to build 19-rc2. After 3 more rebuilds to add stuff like emu10k1 & the RAMFS bits, -rc2 has now booted. So now we wait for the other shoe to drop & see if the auto powerdowns persist.
