Chris,

  Apparently Lincoln and his crew customize the kernels and modules for each
distribution and laptop model they resell. They do this to ensure that all
the hardware and capabilities work. It must be a major effort -- and PITA --
but that's how he's chosen to do business. It works fine until folks like me
get distracted, don't pay attention, and hose the system. :-)
