I don't believe you get the modules file or the config file that you normally see on a Red Hat installed kernel, when you compile them from source. I believe that is what Red Hat includes with their kernel RPM if you install it that way. As far as your new kernel failing, you should check your grub.conf file to make sure it has the proper entry. I don't know if compiling the new kernel from source (the make install command I guess), includes editing and changing the grub.conf file. You may need to do it by hand. Mike
