Nope, bare metal, "legacy" grub.  Must have been the kernel itself,
there's a place one can do that, though I don't.

Got 34.13 built, but now I see I have to complicate module loading by
lists per kernel build, because the 32.7 is still available.  Since the
libc headers haven't changed, I'm thinking I don't have to rebuild X to
test.  Maybe I'll get lucky!

Ho boy!  I may have to do some of that, but I fear it's beyond me,
anymore.  Understand, I taught myself FORTRAN on a computer that did
arithmetic by table lookup in '66.  Anybody here born then?  Remember
the line in the movie where HAL says, "My mind is going. I can feel
it."?   It's true!  But I'll give it a try with whatever is left.

It would be much more straight forward to try a different version of X--
the bug isn't in 6.8.2.  I chose 7.5-3 because it was contemporaneous
with LFS-6.6, so I figured the two would work together.
