 As per 44886 (which appears to be the same problem, on a different but
 probably related Dell model) it appears to work to compile in the root
 device.
 
 It would be helpful to know what the bootloader is seeing/passing to
 the kernel that's not working, but I don't know any easy way to
 extract that.
