Odd, it can work on all those yet fail on a relatively simple system.
Makes one wonder.  Maybe it is to complicated?  Sort of starting to
sound like udev isn't it?  lol

I didn't say it would fail for the OP.  I just said it never worked for
me.  Compiling my own has worked for me.  I have only had one failure
with that.  I might also add, I have read where others have nightmares
about genkernel.  I'm not the only one.

Miss the compile output?  Hint:
