Oh rats! If I had know that, I probably wouldn't have started down this
road.

I guess I just have to finally give in, and accept that my brand new USB3.0
disk is not suitable for use on Linux, and I should install it on a Windows
machine instead :-(

Would you be able to explain the logic of el-repo kmod packages not
supporting the el-repo kernels?
