I have tried over recent months and none worked. So the explanation lies 
above. In many respects its a real pity, as that was to many, part of the
fun of Linux, being able to compile your own kernel. They do call it progress 
but I see progress contains many losses as well as 'gains'. Do the gains 
outweigh the losses, in many cases I think not. As you say though it often 
gets back to the old bain, insufficient or bad documentation.
