However, if I go to /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq does not exist.

It is a compile time option, so the person who compiled your kernel left it out.

I compiled it, and the sysrq is definitely in the config. No doubt at all. I also use make mrproper and config again before dep and actual compile. Maybe it is just a quirk/oddball.

Have you tried "echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq"?
You need both, compiled in and activation.

It is compiled in, but the echo is summarily rejected. Root is not allowed to write to that file, which doesn't exist. I'm going to just wipe out everything from that kernel and redo the whole thing.
