I did that, but to no avail.  There is no System.map.  See:

# ls

The fact that it is missing is suspicious.  What makes System.map?  I
don't know why it is not there.  I did 

make clean
make dep
make bzImage modules modules_install

Any ideas?

Actually, I hijacked another person's message, someone who was having
the same problem as myself, so I didn't actually write that.  I suspect
it was exasperation, not a threat.  I myself, if all else fails, would
go back to SuSE, not RedHat, but that is _not_ a threat and I am not
about to give up. ;-)  I appreciate the help.  Please don't think
otherwise.

Thanks,

Bud
