Anders, 

I lied, using make and KVER it failed, but when actually logged into the 
2.6.22.9-0.4 it worked.. guessing I may have forgotten -default when building 
using kver. 

Sorry about that.. 

Also, the kernel I was logged into wasn't vanilla, it was actually from head 
(I decided to install from head to show someone how to do it and decided to 
just keep it).
