This was the standard binary kernel supplied on the distribution disks.

I've fixed it, but I'm wondering why it didn't fix itself.  I was getting an
insmod error while trying to load the 3c59x module on startup.  It didn't like
the IRQ which was 11 just like a PCI NIC on the Dell should have been.  So I
turned off the NIC, ran kudzu and removed the configuration. Then turned the NIC
back on, ran kudzu again and went through the configuration.  Still didn't work.

So finally, I edited modules.conf removing the NIC references, and went through
the sequence above.  Didn't work on just a reboot, but if I powered off and then
back up to get a POR, kudzu recognized it and the kernel module was successfully
loaded.  Apparently once modules.conf had a "bad" entry it stayed bad until I
manually deleted it from the config file.

COuld this be a kudzu problem?
