Thanks for the tips...    What I just tried (and it's working so far) is 
to go back to 'make mrproper'  and after adding in XFS and EXT3  and 
making sure the cpu was set properly, I just compiled the damn thing.

Lots of stuff missing but at least it is booting and I can slowly tweak 
it to see where it breaks.

But that's progress....    It may be that I missed some of the cpu 
options on the first go-around when I saw that it correctly set the cpu 
type to  P4.
