Kernel compilation problem

[Taren <taren@earthlink.net>]

I'm running Stretch, with kernel 4.9.0.7, and am trying to compile a new 
kernel (preferably 4.17.11) into which I can boot.


The kernel builds successfully, but whenever I try booting into the new 
kernel, I end up in emergency mode, with the error


    Unit dev-disk-by\x2duuid-<uuid>.device has failed.

    The result is timeout.


This device is anmd device, with two mirrors (each 2.7T in size).  The 
submirrors are present when I boot into 4.9.0.7 (installed when the 
system was built).

However, they do not appear to be visible under any kernel which I build 
and try to boot into.


I've tried setting LBDAF in the kernel configuration, but that requires 
that a 32bit kernel be built (and x64 deselected), and I'm running on an 
AMD 8350 chip, which is x86_64.


Kernel 4.9.0.7 does not have LBDAF set (and x64 is set), yet it's able 
to see my 2.7T drives, and my raid device mounts with no problem.


Would someone point me in the correct direction for configuring a new 
kernel, so that my 2T+ drives are visible?


Thanks
