It seems the problem, GPREL16, is pretty wide spread. I've tried building
the drivers as modules, since that doesn't appear to be a problem *knock on
wood* but one driver after another, after another, after another generates a
new GPREL16 error! Raid0 drivers, numerous NetFilter modules, IR drivers
(guess I can't use a Hauppauge card), and various other components. I'm
going to try a few more configurations... then hit the sack. I'm pretty sure
this is going to be a long process.
