I recompiled the 5.0 kernel because I needed to add Joliet CDROM support.
That patch went in just fine. The kernel actually compiled and it actually
runs. BUT, and there is a but.
When it boots, it gets to the checking of the modules and spits out a whole
list of .o files and complains about unresolved references. The very long
list of errors are not placed into any file that is in /var/log, so I can't
give some examples.
That didn't stop the kernel from running. Hell, it even mounts and reads
Joliet disks.
Then I tried to start OpenWindows. The screen went dark and stayed that way.
I've got the starting of OW to log what it does, so I kept a copy of a good
start with the old kernel and of a bad start, with the new kernel. Here are
the diffs from those two files:

If anyone has any idea for me to try and do to get X working again and
removal of all those unresolved references, I'd appreciate it.
I'm curious, why isn't the .config file that RedHat uses sent along with the
source thee? It would at least be a baseline for a "make xconfig", or what-
ever config was used.
