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.
