I'll admit to getting bitten by CONFIG_FHANDLE not being set a long time
ago.  Back then, I was directed toward the systemd "README" file to see
if there were any other kernel config options that I hadn't set
correctly.  I'm pretty sure none of the required options are missing,
but an extra set of eyes looking at it couldn't hurt.  My ".config" file
for 5.0.0 is attached.

Do please note at least one fundamental difference (philosophical?)
between my hand-built kernels and the usual distro-provided kernels.  I
like to build-in the drivers that are needed at boot time, *including*
any required firmware.  I don't know if "systemd/udev" would (or should)
be affected by the disk device drivers being built-in instead of modules,
but it might be interesting to see if the Debian generic kernel for alpha
configures the qlogic SCSI driver as built-in or modular (because it
requires firmware that loads at driver initialization).

I heard back concerning availability of a fixed generic kernel for
Alpha.  The latest upload of linux failed to build on a number of
architectures, including Alpha.
