I didn't build when I rebooted.  The boot hung.  

For some reason my wifi card doesn't connect to the network during the
boot.  It establishes a connection and works just fine during my KDE
session, but it doesn't establish a connection during the boot.

I'm still waiting for kmod-nvidia so I can use the new kernel.
