I have no idea if I need it or not. When I first started builing LFS It took me about 30 tries compiling the kernel, eventually I hit upon the correct combination of the couple of thousand config options that worked, one of which was the BLK_DEV_UB option. There's probably a dozen more options in the config file I don't need. Nice idea though. I think I will disable the BLK_DEV_UB option and see what happens.
