I ran the pathcin.sh script to set this up. Below is first error, which is
2.4 - 2.5 related (MINOR() and kdev_t stuff).

I'm still not entirely sure what's happening. It may be a race condition at
boot that is breaking something and completely unrelated to the minor changes
I made to the root fs. I'm not familiar sith SysRq-T. Where do I find more
about this?
