   Once my LX finishes building everything...  That poor hampster can
   only spin the little wheel so fast... 8^)  I thought that might be
   part of the problem so I haven't mentioned it before, and was going
   to bring it up later.

this is speculation based on two little facts of my own:

	- a kernel a built several months ago for my classic did not
	load, i *think* due to the same error.

	- a kernel a built a week or so ago works.


so, perhaps the bug is in 1.6 but fixed in -current?  i really have
no idea, but felt the need to share the above facts.
