I figured that package I emerged was a long shot.  I went into the
kernel config and enabled everything crc32 I could find.  It still
fails.  I changed one, since it has 4 options but can only enable one at
a time, and am trying again.  I don't know if this is going to work or
not.  It's chewing on it.  It's cool here so the heat helps a little.  lol 

Does anyone know exactly what kernel driver it wants?  Also, when it
runs its pre-emerge checks, why doesn't it see that it is missing and
fail with the info on what is missing?  Why wait until it fails, about
90% of the way through the compile process, and then spit out a error
that isn't really helpful????  This a bug maybe???
