Bug Description

low on disk space too, only 100 MB or so left,
so if this kernel is not installing and not going to work,
it may brick linux on me...

if a kernel module doesn't install,
does it still run without the module
and just not get virtualization?
or whatever hardware support the kernel
moduile is for?

kind of vanilla kernel?
leave off the mixins?
