Thanks, After messing around manually with the kernel I found your .config, that could've saved me a lot of time. I have a .config for 4.9.6-r1 I believe. I've noticed some patches have been partially applied in 4.9.6-r1 and will modify the patches accordingly. If I can figure out how to use git I can send the updates. Dan
